    Regular questions: ( 5 marks each)


    1. a) Start from incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, nondimensionalize them using velocity U, and Length L. Show that the viscous term is
    negligible at very high Reynolds number.

    b) Starting from the steady Euler equations derive Bernoulli's equation


    valid along a streamline.
    c) Starting from the steady Euler equations, derive Bernoulli's equation
    . valid for any two points in an irrotational flow.
    2. Show that in a 2 dimensional irrotational vortex, the vorticity at the
    center is infinite. Explain why the circulation in the vortex along a closed
    curve containing the origin is nonzero.
