Assignment 2

1. Which of the following sets of equations represent possible two-dimensional incompressible flow
cases?
i. u = 2x2 + y2 ii. u = xt + 2y
v = x3 – x(y2 – 2y) v = xt2– yt
iii. u = 2xy – x2 + y iv. u = (x + 2y)xt
v = 2xy – y2 + x2 v = (2x – y)yt
2. The three components of velocity in a velocity field are given by u = Ax + By + Cz, v = Dx + Ey
+ Fz, and w = Gx + Hy + Jz. Determine the relationship among the coefficients A through J that is
necessary if this is to be a possible incompressible flow field.
3. For a flow in the xy plane, the y component of velocity is given by v = y2 – 2x + 2y. Determine a
possible x component for steady, incompressible flow. Is it also valid for unsteady, incompressible
flow? Why? How many possible x components are there?
4. The y component of velocity in a steady, incompressible flow field in the xy plane is v = – Bxy3,
where B = 0.2 m3/s-1, and x and y are measured in meters. Find the simplest x component of
velocity for this flow field. Find the equation of the streamlines for this flow. Plot the streamlines
through points (1, 4) and (2, 4).
5. Consider a flow with velocity components u = 0, v = –y3 – 4z, and w = 3y2z.
i. Is this a one-, two-, or three-dimensional flow?
ii. Demonstrate whether this is an incompressible or compressible flow.
iii. Derive a stream function for this flow.
6. The stream function in a two dimensional, incompressible flow field is given as,
𝜓 = 𝐴(𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 )
(a) Determine the velocity components.
(b) Determine whether the above flow field represents a possible case of an incompressible flow
or not.
(c) Obtain an expression for the velocity potential.
7. For a two-dimensional irrotational flow, the velocity potential is given by ∅ = 1/2 ln (x2 + y2). Determine
the velocity at point (1 , 1).
8. A three-dimensional velocity field is given by
V = - x2yi – y2z j + (2xyz + yz2) k
Determine the velocity and acceleration at (1, 1, 2).
