Problem 5: Book Problem 2.

GIVEN

Consider a velocity field where the radial and tangential components of velocity are given by:

Vr := 0 Vθ = c⋅ r

FIND
Obtain the equations of the streamlines

ASSUMPTIONS
(1) c is a constant
(2) 2-D flow

SOLUTION
u = Vr⋅ cos( θ) − Vθ⋅ sin( θ)

v = Vr⋅ sin( θ) + Vθ⋅ cos( θ)

z=z

y
u = −c⋅ r⋅ = −c⋅ y
r
x
v = c⋅ r⋅ = c⋅ x
