AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding a problem related to three-dimensional flow from a point source in aerodynamics. The key equation to solve involves demonstrating that the magnitude of velocity |V| is equal to Λ'/4πr². Participants express confusion about the wording of the problem and how to approach the solution. There is a suggestion to relate the problem to the divergence of velocity equation, but uncertainty remains about the correct methodology. Clarification on the application of these concepts is needed to progress in solving the problem.

Homework Statement


In the three-dimensional flow from a point source, the streamlines radiate in all directions from a point. If we designate the strength of the course as
  • Λ' show that |V|=
    • Λ'/4*Pi*r^2
So I've been trying to read the text and understand what this asking/how to solve but I really don't understand the wording.

To my understanding I need to use relate this to the equation of the divergence of velocity
div V = ∂u/∂x + ∂v/∂y + ∂w/∂z, but other than that I'm not sure if I'm going in the right direction or not
