Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 88P
A source and a sink with strengths of equal magnitude, q = 3π m2/s, are placed on the x axis at x = −a and a, respectively. A uniform flow, with speed U = 20 m/s, in the positive x direction, is added to obtain the flow past a Rankine body. Obtain the stream function, velocity potential, and velocity field for the combined flow. Find the value of ψ = constant on the stagnation streamline. Locate the stagnation points if a = 0.3 m.

for the following flows, find the equation of the streamline through(1,1). v= -y^(2)i-6xj
A sink of strength 20 m2/s is situated 3 m upstream of a source of 40 m²/s in a uniform stream. It is found that, at a point 2.5 m from both source and sink, the local velocity is normal to the line joining the source and sink. Find the velocity at this point and the velocity of the uniform stream. Locate any stagnation points and sketch the flow field.
Consider the flow field formed by combining a uniform flow in the positive
x direction and a source located at the origin. Let U= 30 m/s and m = 150 m²/s. Plot
the ratio of local velocity to the freestream velocity as a function of 0 along the
stagnation streamline. Locate the points on the stagnation streamline where the
velocity reaches its maximum value. Find the gage pressure there if the fluid density
is 1.2 kg/m³.
