Question

Converging duct flow is modeled by the steady, two dimensional velocity field V^-›= (u, ? ) = (U₀ + bx) i^-›− byj^-› where U₀ is the horizontal speed at x = 0. A fluid particle (A) is located on the x-axis at x = x_A at time t = 0. At some later time t, the fluid particle has moved downstream with the flow to some new location x = x_A′, as shown in the figure. Since the flow is symmetric about the x-axis, the fluid particle remains on the x-axis at all times. Generate an analytical expression for the x-location of the fluid particle at some arbitrary time t in terms of its initial location x_A and constants U₀ and b. In other words, develop an expression for x_A.
