Flow in "solid body rotation" acts like a solid spinning around an axis. The streamlines are circular,
the velocity is purely tangential, and the velocity magnitude is V = r, where is the angular
velocity (positive counter-clockwise) and r is the radius.
(a) Express the velocity vector V as a function of x and y.
(b) Calculate the curl of the velocity vector V × V, indicating clearly the direction of the resulting
vector.
