Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery

  1. For a certain two-dimensional incompressible flow, velocity field is given by 2xyi – y² j. The streamlines for this flow are given by the family of curves
    1. x²y² = constant
    2. xy² = constant
    3. 2xy – y² = constant
    4. xy – constant
Correct Option: B

v = 2xy i – y²j

u =
δx
, v = -
δx
δyδx

2xy =
δx
= 2
δy

2xyδy = δψ
on integrating
ψ = xy² + f(x)
= y1 + f'(x)
f'(x) = 0
⇒ f(x)= constant
so ψ= xy² + constant
