Question: Problem 2 . ( 1 0 points ) In a rotating frame, the momentum and mass equations for an incompressible, inviscid flow are D u

Problem 2.(10 points) In a rotating frame, the momentum and mass equations for an incompressible,
inviscid flow are
DuDt+(2hat(z))u=-1gradp+f, and ,grad*u=0
where the vector (2hat(z) tells us that the fluid is rotating at an angular velocity about the vertical (z) axis.
Derive the governing equation for the vertical component of the vorticity, =delvdelx-deludely, assuming
body forces are conservative. How does this equation simplify if the flow is 2D in the horizontal xy-plane
(i.e. if w=0 and deldelz=0)?
