Question
If an incompressible fluid flows in a corner bounded by walls meeting at the origin at an angle of $60^{\circ}$, the streamlines of the flow satisfy the equation $2 x y d x+\left(x^{2}-y^{2}\right) d y=0$. Find the streamlines.
Step 1
Step 1: Given the equation $2 x y d x+\left(x^{2}-y^{2}\right) d y=0$, we can rearrange it to obtain the differential equation: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{2xy}{x^2 - y^2} = 0 \] Show more…

A two-dimensional, incompressible flow is given by $u$ $=-y$ and $v=x .$ Show that the streamline passing through the point $x=10$ and $y=0$ is a circle centered at the origin.
An ideal fluid flows into the corner formed by the two walls. If the stream function for this flow is defined by $\psi=\left(5 r^{4} \sin 4 \theta\right) \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}$, show that continuity for the flow is satisfied. Also, plot the streamline that passes through point $r=2 \mathrm{~m}, \theta=(\pi / 6) \mathrm{rad},$ and find the magnitude of the velocity at this point.
The velocity for a steady, incompressible flow in the $x y$ plane is given by $\vec{V}=i A / x+i A y / x^{2},$ where $A=2 \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s},$ and the coordinates are measured in meters. Obtain an equation for the streamline that passes through the point $(x, y)=$ (1,3). Calculate the time required for a fluid particle to move from $x=1 \mathrm{m}$ to $x=2 \mathrm{m}$ in this flow field.
