Chapter 5, Problem 22P
Determine the stream function for the steady incompressible flow between parallel plates. The velocity profile is parabolic and given by u = uc + ay2, where uc is the centerline velocity and y is the distance measured from the centerline. The plate spacing is 2b and the velocity is zero at each plate. Explain why the stream function is not a function of x.

The stream function for a two-dimensional, nonviscous,
incompressible flow field is given by the expression
V = -2(x – y)
where the stream function has the units of ft²/s with x and y in
feet. (a) Calculate velocity components u and v.
(b) Verify that the velocity field is irrotational.
(c) Generate an expression for the Potential function

In a 2D dimension incompressible flow , if the fluid velocity components are given by u = x-4y , v = -4x then stream function y is given by
Does the velocity potential exist for two dimensional incompressible flow prescribed by
u = x-4y; v = -(y+4x)?
If so determine its form (@) as well as that of stream function (u).
