Question: ( a ) Verify that the velocity distribution ( c ) in Problem 1 B . 1 describes a fluid in a state of pure

(a) Verify that the velocity distribution (c) in Problem 1B.1 describes a fluid in a state of pure
rotation; that is, the fluid is rotating like a rigid body. What is the angular velocity of
rotation?
(b) For that flow pattern evaluate the symmetric and antisymmetric combinations of velocity
derivatives:
(i)(vy/x)+(vx/y)
(ii)(vy/x)(vx/y)
(c) Discuss the results of (b) in connection with the development in 1.2.(1) Velocity profiles and the stress components
Do problem 1B.1 in TrPh; however, replace the velocity profiles given in the
problem statement by
vx=y and vy=ax where a is a constant which describes flow type
and is the shear rate which we will take as a constant for this problem.
(a)a=0
(b)a=1
(c)a=-1
and skip part (d).
(2) A fluid in a state of rigid rotation
Do problem 1B.2 in TrPh.
Note that this problem should now refer to part (c) as done above in Problem (1).
