Channel flow The flow in a long shallow channel is modeled by the velocity field F = (0, 1 – x2), where R = {(x, y): |x| ≤ 1 and |y| = 5}.
a. Sketch R and several streamlines of F.
b. Evaluate the curl of F on the lines x = 0, x =
c. Compute the circulation on the boundary of R.
d. How do you explain the fact that the curl of F is nonzero at points of R, but the circulation is zero?

Let R and b be positive constants. The vector function r(t) = (R cost, R sint, bt) traces out a helix that goes up and down the z-axis. a) Find the arclength function s(t) that gives the length of the helix from t = 0 to any other t. b) Reparametrize the helix so that it has a derivative whose magnitude is always equal to 1. c) Set R = b = 1.
