Question: answer problem 3 Assume a steady, 2 D flow and one velocity component is v x ( x , y ) = C x m

answer problem 3
Assume a steady, 2D flow and one velocity component is vx(x,y)=Cxm
Where C,m are constants.
a) Assume the fluid is incompressible and vy(x,0)=0; determine vy(x,y).
b) For what values of m will the flow be irrotational? (hint: see the definition of
irrotational flow)
Consider the flow-field u=xt+t0,v=v0,W=0, Find:
(i) Streamline: equation of a streamline passing through a point (x0,y0,z0) at time
t=t0(the subscript '0' is used symbolically and doesn't necessary mean the values are
zero)
(ii) Streakline: Equation of a coloured line at time, that is visible as a consequence of
dye injection at (x0,y0,z0), starting from t=t0 and continuing till t=2t0
(iii) Pathline: Locus of a fluid particle that is at (x0,y0,z0) at time t=t0
Consider a velocity field u?=xe??(x)-ye??(y).
a) Determine the equation for streamlines and type of flow (i.e. translational,
extensional, and rotational)
b) Find the relationship between stream function and vorticity
