Answer to Problem 8.5P

The value of function f(y) for which the laplacian of F is zero.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

A harmonic function F(x, y, z):

F=2x2 +y3 -4xz+f(y)

Concept Used:

First, we must find the suitable f(y) which makes 2F=0

Calculation:

2F=2Fx2+2Fy2+2Fz2=2(2x2+y34xz+f(y))x2+2(2x2+y34xz+f(y))y2+2(2x2+y34xz+f(y))z2=(4+0+0)+(0+6y0)+(0+00)+f"(y)=4+6y+f"yf"(y)=46yfor2F=0onsolvingforf(y)weget:f'(y)=4y3y2+cf(y)=2y2y3+c'onputtingf(y)weget:F=2x2+y34xz2y2y3+c'=2x22y24xz+c'f(y)isnotaharmonicfunction.

Conclusion:

The value of function f(y) for which the laplacian of F is zero is F=2x2 -2y2 -4xz+ c'

Here c' is integration constant. The function f(y) is not a harmonic function.

Answer to Problem 8.5P

The given function can be served as a velocity potential function as 2F=0.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

A harmonic function F(x, y,z): F=2x2 +y3 -4xz+f(y)

Concept Used:

For a function to be velocity potential the required condition is:

2F=0

Calculation:

Conclusion:

The given function can be served as a velocity potential function as 2F=0

But the given function may not be a realistic flow pattern.

To determine

(c)

The given function can be served as velocity potential function.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 8.5P

The given function cannot be served as a stream function due to having three dimensional function.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

A harmonic function F(x, y, z): F=2x2 +y3 -4xz+f(y)

Concept Used:

For a function to be stream function the required condition is that the function should not be three dimensional.

Calculation:

Conclusion:

The given function is not a stream function as it is three dimensional.
