SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on parts B and C of an assignment related to two-dimensional incompressible flow in the x,y plane. The conservation of mass equation is highlighted, specifically the continuity equation expressed as ∂u/∂x + ∂v/∂y = 0. Additionally, it addresses the rotational nature of the flow, indicated by the equation ∇×∇φ ≠ 0, where φ represents the velocity potential. Understanding these equations is crucial for solving the assignment effectively.

I don't have any idea on part b and c.
Anyone would show me how to do them?

How was the first part answered, and does one see any relevancy to the subsequent questions?

For a two-dimensional incompressible flow in the x,y plane, the conservation of mass (continuity) equation can be written as,

[tex]\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}\,+\,\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} = 0[/tex]

and since the flow is rotational,

[tex]\nabla\times\nabla\phi\,\neq\,0[/tex]

where [itex]\phi[/itex] = velocity potential.
