Tutorial Sheet 2213

This document contains 14 questions regarding fluid mechanics concepts like streamlines, velocity potential, vorticity, dynamic similarity, modeling, and dimensional analysis. The questions cover topics such as determining analytical expressions for streamlines and velocity from given velocity potentials, calculating vorticity from a velocity field, satisfying conditions of dynamic similarity between pipes, using Buckingham Pi theorem to derive relationships between flow parameters, and using Rayleigh's method to obtain correlations between variables that influence the time period of a simple pendulum.
