Source Material: Class Notes, 6.1-6.4 “Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics” by
Munson, Young, & Okiishi (5th or 6th edition).
Please Show All Work and Follow the Format given on the course website for
Type B Problems
Type A.
Section 6.1 of “Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics” by Munson, Young, &
Okiishi (5th or 6th edition).
1. A fluid has a velocity field given as:
V = 2x
2
i – (2xy - 2yz) j – (2xz + z
2
) k
. What
is the
volumetric dilatation
rate
of this fluid?
2. Consider the same velocity field as problem 1. Calculate the vorticity, z. Is the
flow irrotational?
Section 6.2 of “Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics” by Munson, Young, &
Okiishi (5th or 6th edition).
3. The velocity field for a certain incompressible, steady flow field is
V = (x
2
+y
2
) i
–(xy+yz+z) j + (g[x,y,z]) k
. Determine possible functional
form for
g [x,y,z].
4. The velocity field for a 2-dimensional incompressible flow, is given as
V =
(3yt)i + (4xt)j
.
Find the stream function of this flow.
