Question: Consider the flow field given in Eulerian description by the expression (vec{V}=a x hat{i}+b y t hat{j}), where (a=0.2 mathrm{~s}^{-1}, b=0.04 mathrm{~s}^{-2}), and the coordinates
Consider the flow field given in Eulerian description by the expression \(\vec{V}=a x \hat{i}+b y t \hat{j}\), where \(a=0.2 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}, b=0.04 \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\), and the coordinates are measured in meters. Derive the Lagrangian position functions for the fluid particle that was located at the point \((x, y)=(1,1)\) at the instant \(t=0\). Obtain an algebraic expression for the pathline followed by this particle. Plot the pathline and compare with the streamlines plotted through the same point at the instants \(t=0,10\), and \(20 \mathrm{~s}\).
