Question: A flow has a velocity field V = A r 2 e r + B r e + Csin ( t ) e z expressed

A flow has a velocity field V=Ar2er+Bre+Csin(t)ez expressed using cylindrical coordinates (as
defined in our Vector Algebra class slides). The symbols A,B,C and denote dimensional constants
and t is time. Find, as explicit functions of position, expressions for
(a) the time rate of change of velocity seen at a fixed point in space,
(b) the acceleration of the fluid material,
(c) the time rate of change of volume of a fluid particle as a fraction of its volume,
(d) the average angular velocity of the fluid particles.
A flow has a velocity field V = A r 2 e r + B r e
