4. The velocity vectors of three flow fileds are given as V, = axĩ + bx(1+1)}+ tk ,
V, = axyi + bx(1+t)j , and V3 = axyi – bzy(1+t)k where coefficients a and b have
constant values. Is it correct to say that flow field 1 is one-, flow filed 2 is two-, and
flow filed 3 is three-dimensional? Are these flow fields steady or unsteady?
