Chapter 2, Problem 12P
The flow field for an atmospheric flow is given by
where K = 105 m2/s, and the x and y coordinates are parallel to the local latitude and longitude. Plot the velocity magnitude along the x axis, along the y axis, and along the line y = x, and discuss the velocity direction with respect to these three axes. For each plot use a range x or y = −1 km to 1 km, excluding |x| or |y| < 100 m. Find the equation for the streamlines and sketch several of them. What does this flow field model?
