Question
The velocity components of $u$ and $v$ of a two-dimensional flow are given by\[u=a x+\frac{b x}{x^{2} y^{2}} \quad \text { and } \quad v=a y+\frac{b y}{x^{2} y^{2}}\]where $a$ and $b$ are constants. Calculate the acceleration.
Step 1
In two dimensions, this is given by: \[a = \frac{du}{dt} + \frac{dv}{dt}\] where \(u\) and \(v\) are the velocity components in the x and y directions respectively, and \(t\) is time. Show more…

Determine the acceleration field for a three-dimensional flow with velocity components $u=-x, v=4 x^{2} y^{2},$ and $w=x-y$.
The u velocity component of a steady, two-dimensional, incompressible flow field is u = 3ax^2 - 2bxy, where a and b are constants. The velocity component is unknown. Generate an expression for the velocity component as a function of x and y.
The velocity in a certain two-dimensional flow field is given by the equation \[\mathbf{V}=2 x \hat{t} \hat{\mathbf{i}}-2 y t \hat{\mathbf{j}}\] where the velocity is in $\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$ when $x, y,$ and $t$ are in feet and seconds, respectively. Determine expressions for the local and convective components of acceleration in the $x$ and $y$ directions. What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity and the acceleration at the point $x=y=2 \mathrm{ft}$ at the time $t=0 ?$
