Chapter 2, Problem 2.8P
The velocity field given in Problem 2.4 is called vortex flow, which will be discussed in Chapter 3. For vortex flow, calculate:
a. The time rate of change of the volume of a fluid element per unit volume.
b. The vorticity.
Hint: Again, for conveniences use polar coordinates.
