A two-dimensional flow field has an x-component of velocity given in Cartesian coordinates by u = 2x − 3y. (a) Find v, the y-component of velocity, if the flow is incompressible and v = 0 when x = 0. (b) If the flow follows the Bernoulli equation, find an expression for the pressure distribution as a function of x and y, given that the pressure is p0 at the stagnation point.
