Question
The streamlines of a fluid flow are given by$$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=C$$where $C$ is a constant. Plot the streamline that passes through the origin and $C=5$.
Step 1
We have $\frac{dy}{dx} = C$. To find the equation of the streamline, we need to integrate this equation with respect to x. $$ \int \frac{dy}{dx} dx = \int C dx $$ 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.
The laminar boundary layer for a fluid is assumed to be cubic, such that $u / U=C_{1}+C_{2}(y / \delta)+C_{3}(y / \delta)^{3} .$ If the free-stream velocity $U$ starts at $y=\delta,$ determine the constants $C_{1}, C_{2},$ and $C_{3}$.
The laminar boundary layer for a fluid is assumed to be parabolic, such that $u / U=C_{1}+C_{2}(y / \delta)+C_{3}(y / \delta)^{2}$. If the free-stream velocity $U$ starts at $y=\delta,$ determine the constants $C_{1}, C_{2},$ and $C_{3}$.
