Consider a steady, two-dimensional flow field in the xy-plane whose x-component of velocity is given by u = a + b(x - c)^2 where a, b, and c are constants with appropriate dimensions. Of what form does the y-component of velocity need to be in order for the flow field to be incompressible? In other words, generate an expression for v as a function of x, y, and the constants of the given equation such that the flow is incompressible.

$ \mathrm{A}$ flow is represented by the velocity field $\vec{V}=\left(x^{7}-\right.$ $\left.21 x^{5} y^{2}+35 x^{3} y^{4}-7 x y^{6}\right) \hat{i}+\left(7 x^{6} y-35 x^{4} y^{3}+21 x^{2} y^{5}-y^{7}\right) \hat{i}.$ Determine if the field is (a) a possible incompressible flow and (b) irrotational.
