Question: ( 4 0 pts ) A steady two - dimensional flow in the x - y plane has velocity field vec ( V ) =

(40 pts) A steady two-dimensional flow in the x-y plane has velocity field
vec(V)=(2.20+5.60x+1.30y)vec(i)+(1.96-4.20x-5.60y)vec(j)
Do not concern yourself with units - assume that the constants have appropriate units for dimensional consistency.
(a) Calculate the acceleration field and give your answer as the components ax and ay.
(b) Calculate the acceleration at the point (x,y)=(-2,3).
(c) Is this flow incompressible? Show why or why not.
(d) Is this flow irrotational? Show why or why not.
(e) Calculate all nine components of the strain rate tensor at this location and show your result as a 33 matrix in the usual
fashion. Are the x-y axes principal axes? Why or why not?
