Question
1.

Transcribed Image Text:1. Consider two dimensional irrotational motion in a plane parallel to xy - plane.
The velocity v of fluid can be expressed as,
Vại + vyj
V =
Since the motion is irrotational, a scalar function ø(x, y) gives the velocity
components.
V= φ(7, ) -
+j
= 1
Əx
ду
dy
On comparing (1) and (2), we get
Vr
Vy
dy
The scalar function (x, y) which gives the velocity component is called the
velocity potential function. As the fluid is incompressible,
Vv = 0 →
dy
Vgi + Vyj
dy
dx
Putting the values of
and
Vy
from (3) and (4), we get
Vx
dy?
This is Laplace equation. The function o is harmonic and it is a real part of
analytic function
f(2) = ¢(x, y) + inp (x, y)
By using (3) it can be shown that,
dy
Vy
ie
Vx
dx
dy
Here the resultant velocity
v? + v? of the fluid is along the tangent to the
curve
p(x, y) = C'
Such curves are known as stream lines and (x, y) is known as stream func-
tion.
The curves represented by ø(x, y)
As ø(x, y) and Þ(x, y) are conjugates of analytic function f(z), the equipoten-
tial lines and and stream lines intersects each other orthogonally.
Therefore,
= c are called eqipotential lines.
f'(2) = vn – ivy
The magnitude of the resultant velocity is /v? + v3. The function f(2) which
V
represents the flow pattern is called complex potential.
(а) If w %3
p = x² – y? +
O + ip represents the complex potential of a flow and
determine the function o.
x2 + y2'
(b) Find the equation for stream lines and equipotential lines represented
by f(z) = az², where a is a constant and z = x + iy.
(c) For the function in (b) show that the speed is everywhere proportional
to the distance from the origin.
