Question 3(Unit 5)25 marks Consider a two-dimensional fluid flow whose velocity field in Cartesian form at time t 0 is given by: u = e 2t i 2xet j (x >0, y >0).(a) Is the flow (i) steady, (ii) incompressible, (iii) irrotational? [4](b) Find the equations x(t) and y(t) of the pathline of a particle that passes through the point (0,1) at time t =0.[8](c) Write down the equations describing the stream function for the velocity vector field u. Hence find the stream function for this flow, and the equations of the streamlines. [5](d) Suppose that the fluid is inviscid with constant density , and that is subject to body force (per unit mass), F =2e 2t i +2xet j. Find the pressure distribution in the fluid. [8
