Answer to Problem 8.1P

The statement has been proved.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The streamline function Ψ (r,θ)

The potential line function φ (r,θ)

Concept Used:

Fromequation(8.10)weget:vr=ϕr=1r( ψ θ)vθ=(1r)( ϕ θ)=ψrThetwofunctionswillbeorthogonaliftheirslopesprouctis(1).

Conclusion:

The streamlines and the potential lines are orthogonal to each other as their slopes gives -1 after multiplication.
