Question: ( 1 ) The stream function for a flow field is given by the equation ( x , y ) = x 3 - 3

(1) The stream function for a flow field is given by the equation (x,y)=x3-3xy2 where is in ft2s and x and y are in ft .(a) calculate the volumetric dilatation rate in 1s. Is this flow incompressible? (b) calculate the vorticity in z direction (normal to page) in 1s. Is this flow irrotational? (c) calculate the angular deformation xy in 1s,(d) determine the pressure difference (p1-p2) between points 1 at )=1ft,y=(2ft and 2 at )=4ft,y=(3ft. Elevation changes can be neglected, and the fluid is water with specific weight of 62.4lbft3. The acceleration of gravity is 32.2fts2.[Answers: (a)0, incompressible, (b)0, irrotational, (c)-12x[ft2/s],(d)36.3 psi]
