Fluid Dynamics Questions and Solutions

The document contains a series of questions related to fluid dynamics, including the calculation of velocity from a stream function, determining the third component of velocity in a 3-D flow, and assessing the kinematic feasibility of given fluid motion. It also addresses the characteristics of an idealized flow and the acceleration in a one-dimensional steady flow through a converging nozzle. Each question requires specific calculations and analysis of fluid properties such as irrotational flow and steady versus unsteady conditions.

Question no 1

A stream function is given by ψ = 3x2y + (2+t) y2. Find the velocity and determine its
value at a point defined by the position vector r = 1i + 2j – 3k when t = 2.
Question no 2
The velocity components of a 3-D, incompressible fluid flow are prescribed as:
u = x2 + z2 + 5, v = y2 + z2 – 3. Find the third component of the velocity. Check
whether the flow is irrotational or not.
Question no 3
Is the motion u = x2y, v= 2yz – xy2, w = x2 – z2 kinematically possible for steady flow
of an incompressible fluid?
Question no 4
An idealised flow is given by V = 2x3i – 3x2yj. Is this flow steady or unsteady? Is it 2-
D or 3-D flow? Calculate the Velocity, local acceleration and convective acceleration
of a fluid particle in this flow field at a point P(2, 1, 3).
Question no 5
The one-dimensional steady flow through a converging nozzle is stated to have a
linear velocity distribution u = u(x) with velocities u = V o at the nozzle base and u =
3Vo at the nozzle tip. Find an expression for the acceleration as a general function of
distance x from the nozzle base.
