Concept explainers
A flow field is formed by combining a uniform flow in the positive x direction, with U = 10 m/s, and a counterclockwise vortex, with strength K = 16π m2/s, located at the origin. Obtain the stream function, velocity potential, and velocity field for the combined flow. Locate the stagnation point(s) for the flow. Plot the streamlines and potential lines. (Hint: Use the Excel workbook of Example 6.10.)
