Question: Given the flow velocity field: u ( x , y , z , t ) = 2 x ( 1 + t ) , v

Given the flow velocity field: u(x,y,z,t)=2x(1+t),v(x,y,z,t)=4y, and w(x,y,z,t)=0.
a) Find the element's path line and velocity vector as function of time t only for an element that
passed through the point x=1,y=1,z=1 at t=1. Construct a relationship xe=f1(ye) for the element's
path line.
b) Find the equation x=f2(y) which describes the streamline that passes through the point x=1,y=1,
z=1 at t=1.
c) Find the equation x=f3(y) for the streak line at time t=1 constructed by all fluid elements that
have passed through the point x=1,y=1,z=1.
d) Plot all the above lines in a diagram x vs.y and compare between the lines.
