A fluid flow is described (in Cartesian coordinates) by u = x2, v = 4xz. (a) Is this flow two-dimensional or three-dimensional? (b) Is this flow field steady or unsteady? (c) Find the simplest form of the z-component of velocity if the flow is incompressible.
1. Stagnation Points
A steady incompressible three dimensional velocity field is given by:
V = (2 – 3x + x²) î + (y² – 8y + 5)j + (5z² + 20z + 32)k
Where the x-, y- and z- coordinates are in [m] and the magnitude of velocity is in [m/s].
a) Determine coordinates of possible stagnation points in the flow.
b) Specify a region in the velocity flied containing at least one stagnation point.
c) Find the magnitude and direction of the local velocity field at 4- different points that located at equal-
distance from your specified stagnation point.
QI A/ The inviscid, steady, and incompressible 2D flows are given by
(a) o =x- 3xy
(b) y = x-2xy-y?
In each case, find the components of velocity in x- and y-directions.
