Consider the steady, incompressible, two-dimensional flow field of Prob. 4—66. Using the results of Prob. 4—66(a). do the following:
(a) From the fundamental definition of shear strain rate (half of the rate of decrease of the angle between two initially perpendicular lines that intersect at a point), calculate shear strain rate in the xy-plane. (Hint: Use the lower edge and the left edge of the fluid particle, which intersect at 900 at the lower-left corner of the particle at the initial time.)
(b) Compare your results with those obtained from the equation for e in Cartesian coordinates, i.e.,

There are no viscous stresses since the water moves as a solid body; thus the Euler equation is appropriate. (We neglect viscous stresses caused by air acting on the water surface.) Integrate the Euler equation to generate an expression for pressure as a function of r and z everywhere in the water. Write an equation for the shape of the free surface (zsurface as a function of r). (Hint: P = Patm everywhere on the free surface. The flow is rotationally symmetric about the z-axis.)arrow_forward
