Fluid Mechanics

Dr. Hakeem Niyas. U.S.

Tutorial – 7

1. Consider the following steady, two-dimensional velocity field:

( ) (
V = (u, v ) = a2 − (b − cx ) i + −2cby + 2c2 xy j
2
)
Calculate the location of the stagnation point.

2. Consider steady, incompressible, two-dimensional flow through a converging duct. A simple


approximate velocity field for this flow is

V = ( u, v ) = (U 0 + bx ) i − byj
where U0 is the horizontal speed at x = 0. Note that this equation ignores viscous effects along
the walls but is a reasonable approximation throughout the majority of the flow field. Calculate
the material acceleration for fluid particles passing through this duct. Give your answer in two
ways: (1) as acceleration components ax and ay and (2) as acceleration vector.

3. The velocity field for a flow is given by its components, u = 3x, 𝜐 = −2y, w = 2z. Find the
streamline that will pass through the point (1, 1, 0).
4. A bird is flying in a room with a velocity field of V = (u, 𝜐, w) = 0.6x i + 0.2t j – 1.4 k (m/s).
The room is heated by a heat pump so that the temperature distribution at steady state is T (x,
y, z) = 400 – 0.4y – 0.6z – 0.2 (5 – x)2 (°C). Calculate the temperature change that the bird
feels after 10 seconds of flight, as it flies through x = 1 m.
5. The velocity field of a flow is described by V= (4x) i + (5y + 3) j + (3t2) k. What is the pathline
of a particle at a location (1 m, 2 m, 4 m) at time t = 1 s?
