1. For a flow in the xy-plane, the y-component of velocity is given by v = y2 −2x+ 2y. Find a possible x-component for steady, incompressible flow. Is it also valid for unsteady, incompressible flow? Why? 2. The x-component of velocity in a steady, incompressible flow field in the xy-plane is u = A/x. Find the simplest y-component of velocity for this flow field.

The figure shows a two-dimensional cascade of identical vanes, which deflect the flow through an angle and change the pressure from p₁ at station 1 to a different p₂ at station 2. Lines AB and DC are streamlines. The distance from A to D is the same as the distance from B to C and is equal to h. (This distance h is also the spacing between vanes.)
