Fluid Kinematics

The branch of science that deals with objects which are either in motion or stationary are studied under the branch of classical mechanics. Fluid mechanics is a subcategory of classical mechanics that deals with the behavior of fluids at rest (fluid stat…

Chapter 6, Problem 11P

The velocity field for a plane vortex sink is given by V → = ( − q / 2 π r ) e ^ r + ( K / 2 π r ) e ^ θ , where q = 2 m³/s/m and K = 1 m³/s/m. The fluid density is 1000 kg/m³. Find the acceleration at (1,0), (1, π/2), and (2,0). Evaluate ∇p under the same conditions.

Consider the flow field V = (ay+dx)i + (bx-dy)j + ck, where a(t), b(t), c(t), and d(t) are time dependent coefficients. Prove the density is constant following a fluid particle, then find the pressure gradient vector gradP, Γ for a circular contour of radius R in the x-y plane (centered on the origin) using a contour integral, and Γ by evaluating the Stokes theorem surface integral on the hemisphere of radius R above the x-y plane bounded by the contour.
