Chapter 5, Problem 29P
In a parallel one-dimensional flow in the positive x direction, the velocity varies linearly from zero at y = 0 to 30 m/s at y = 1.5 m. Determine an expression for the stream function, ψ. Also determine the y coordinate above which the volume flow rate is half the total between y = 0 and y = 1.5 m.

x direction and a source located at the origin. Let U= 30 m/s and m = 150 m²/s. Plot
the ratio of local velocity to the freestream velocity as a function of 0 along the
stagnation streamline. Locate the points on the stagnation streamline where the
velocity reaches its maximum value. Find the gage pressure there if the fluid density
is 1.2 kg/m³.
