Problems of Chapter 3 Birds book Problems for group 7 1. A velocity field is given by the formula V = 4txi - 2t2yj + 4xzk.

Is this flow field steady or unsteady? Is it two- or three-dimensional? At the point (x, y, z) = (-1, 1, 0), compute the acceleration vector. 2. Using the continuity equation, show that the flow defined by the velocity field V = (2t + 2x + 2y)i (t y z)j + (t + x z))k is possible for incompressible flow. 3. A constant-thickness film of viscous liquid flows in laminar motion down a plate inclined at angle . The velocity profile is u = Cy(2h - y), v = w = 0. Find the constant C in terms of the specific weight and viscosity and the angle . Find the volume flux Q per unit width in terms of these parameters.

Problems for group 8 1. A two-dimensional velocity field is given by V = (x2 - y2 + x)i - (2xy + y)j in arbitrary units. At (x, y) = (1, 2), compute (a) the components of acceleration vector in i direction and j direction (b) the direction and magnitude of velocity, and (d) the direction and magnitude of acceleration. 2. Write the special cases of the equation of continuity for a. steady compressible flow in yz plane b. unsteady incompressible flow in the xz plane c. unsteady compressible flow in y direction d. steady compressible flow in r plane in a cylindrical coordinate 3. A viscous liquid of constant and falls due to gravity between two plates a distance 2h apart. The flow is fully developed, with a single velocity component w = w(x). There are no applied pressure gradients, only gravity. Solve the Navier-Stokes equation for the velocity profile between the plates.
