Chapter 2, Problem 2.8P
The velocity field given in Problem 2.4 is called vortex flow, which will be discussed in Chapter 3. For vortex flow, calculate:
a. The time rate of change of the volume of a fluid element per unit volume.
b. The vorticity.
Hint: Again, for conveniences use polar coordinates.

Please indicate the given, assumption and illustration.
A source with strength 0.25 m2/s and a vortex with strength 1 m2/s (counter-clockwise) are located at the origin. After working out the equations for the stream function and velocity potential components, determine the following velocity components at a point P(1, 0.5):
A) The Radial Velocity component in meters/second.
B) The Tangential Velocity Component in meters/second.
In Cartesian coordinates, a particular velocity field is defined by V = −2x2i + 4xyj + 3k. (a) Is this flow field compressible or incompressible? (b) Find the acceleration of the fluid at the point (1,3,0) (c) Find the volume flux passing through area A shown in Figure P5.16. (d) What are the dimensions of volume flux?
55. Derive the relation for angular velocity in terms of the velocity components
for fluid rotation in a two-dimensional flow field. [Hint: Use the schematic for ro-
tation in Figure IIa.3.5 and find the angular velocity for line oa as @a = doddt.
Substitute for da= dl,/dx and for dl, from dl, = (JV,/dx)dxdt. Do the same for line
ob to find @p. The z-component of rotation vector is the average of @a and @p.
Do the same for x- and y- components].
