The components of velocity in a flow field are given byu=x2+y2+z2v=xy+yz+z2w=-3xz- 0.5z2+4a) Determine the volumetric dilatation rate and interpret the result.b) Determine an expression for the rotation vector. Is this an irrotational flow field?
Determine whether each of the followings are rotational flow or irrotational flow. Also, determine their stream functions. (u: x-component of velocity. v: y-component of velocity.)
1. u=x^3-3(x)(y^2), v=y^3-3(x^2)(y)
2. u=2xy, v=-y^2
The expression for stream function is described by y = x ^ 3 - 3x * y ^ 2 . Indicate whether the flow is rotational or irrotational. Determine the value or velocity potential o, if it exists.
