Question: ( 3 5 minutes ) The velocity components for a two - dimensional incompressible jet flow impinging on a wall ( see the sketch on

(35 minutes) The velocity components for a two-dimensional incompressible jet flow impinging on a wall (see the sketch on the left of the figure below) are given as follows:
\[
u=k x ; \quad v=-k y
\]
where \( k \) is a positive constant.
a. Does this flow have a velocity potential? Justify your answer and find an expression for the velocity potential if it exists.
b. Determine the stream function.
c. Plot the streamlines for \( k=1\).
d. Show that the pressure gradient on the surface of the wall is in the form of
\[
\frac{\partial p}{\partial x}=c x
\]
where \( c \) is a constant.
When a source with a strength of \(\Lambda \) is added at the stagnation point of the flow field described above, the resultant flow field corresponds to a jet flow around a bump with a height of \( h \)(see the sketch on the right of the figure below). By using a polar coordinate system \((r,\theta)\) :
e. Find the velocity components of the resultant vector field.
f. Derive an expression for the bump height in terms of the constant \( k \) and the strength of the source (\(\Lambda \)).
