A two-dimensional velocity field is given by v = ( x^2 - y^2 + x ) i - ( 2 x y + y ) j in arbitrary units. Compute the acceleration in the y-direction, a_y, at (x,y)=(4.3,2.7)
Added by Gina V.
Step 1
v_y = - ( 2 * 4.3 * 2.7 + 2.7 ) = - ( 23.22 + 2.7 ) = -25.92 Show more…

Determine the acceleration field for a three-dimensional flow with velocity components $u=-x, v=4 x^{2} y^{2},$ and $w=x-y$.
A velocity field is given by $\vec{V}=\left[A x^{3}+B x y^{2}\right] \hat{i}+$ $\left[A y^{3}+B x^{2} y\right] \hat{j} ; A=0.2 \mathrm{m}^{-2} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}, B$ is a constant, and the coordinates are measured in meters. Determine the value and units for $B$ if this velocity field is to represent an incompressible flow. Calculate the acceleration of a fluid particle at point $(x, y)=(2,1) .$ Evaluate the component of particle acceleration normal to the velocity vector at this point.
A velocity field is given by $\bar{V}=a x i-b r y \tilde{j},$ where $a=1 s^{-1}$ and $b=1 \mathrm{s}^{-2}$. Find the equation of the streamlines at any time $t .$ Plot several streamlines in the first quadrant at $t=0 \mathrm{s}$ $t=1 \mathrm{s},$ and $t=20 \mathrm{s}$.
