Step 1
The acceleration in the x-direction (a_x) is the derivative of the velocity in the x-direction (v_x) with respect to time (t), and the acceleration in the y-direction (a_y) is the derivative of the velocity in the y-direction (v_y) with respect to time (t). Given Show more…

A velocity field is specified as $\vec{V}=a x y i+b y^{2} \hat{j},$ where $a=2 \mathrm{m}^{-1} \mathrm{s}^{-1}, b=-6 \mathrm{m}^{-1} \mathrm{s}^{-1},$ and the coordinates are measured in meters. Is the flow field one-, two-, or three-dimensional? Why? Calculate the velocity components at the point (2,4) . Develop an equation for the streamline passing through this point. Plot several streamlines in the first quadrant including the one that passes through the point $(2,1 / 2)$.
A velocity field is represented by the expression $\vec{V}=$ $(A x-B) \hat{i}-A y \hat{j},$ where $A=0.2 \mathrm{s}^{-1}, B=0.6 \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1},$ and the coordinates are expressed in meters. Obtain a general expression for the acceleration of a fluid particle in this velocity field. Calculate the acceleration of fluid particles at points $(x, y)=\left(0, \frac{4}{3}\right),(1,2),$ and $(2,4) .$ Plot a few streamlines in the $x y$ plane. Show the acceleration vectors on the streamline plot.
In a two-dimensional, incompressible flow field, the $x$ component of velocity is given by the equation $u=2 x$. (a) Determine the corresponding equation for the $y$ component of velocity if $v=0$ along the $x$ axis. (b) For this flow field, what is the magnitude of the average velocity of the fluid crossing the surface $O A$ of Fig. $P 6.19 ?$ Assume that the velocities are in feet per second when $x$ and $y$ are in feet.
