Question: Sketch the streamlines for the following stationary 2-dimensional flows, determine whether the flow is compressible, and evaluate its vorticity. The coordinates are Cartesian in parts

Sketch the streamlines for the following stationary 2-dimensional flows, determine whether the flow is compressible, and evaluate its vorticity. The coordinates are Cartesian in parts (a) and (b), and are circular polar with orthonormal bases {eω̅ , e} in (c) and (d).

(a) vx = 2xy, vy = x2,
(b) vx = x2, vy =−2xy,
(c) vω̅ = 0, v = ω̅,
(d) vω̅ = 0, v = ω̅−1.
