2nd Year Sheet (10)
Fluid Mechanics (I) 08-2021
1) The stream function for an incompressible flow field where, the stream function has the units of m2/s
with, x and y in meters, is given by the equation:

a) Sketch the streamline(s) passing through the origin.


b) Determine the rate of flow across the straight path AB shown in figure.

2) The velocity potential for a certain inviscid, incompressible flow field is given by the equation:

where,  has the units of m2/s when x and y are in meters. Determine the pressure at the point x= 2m
and y= 2m, if the pressure at x= 1m and y= 1m is 200 kPa. Elevation changes maybe neglected, and
the fluid is fresh water.

3) An ideal fluid flows between the inclined walls of a two-dimensional channel into a sink, located at
the origin, as shown in figure. The velocity potential for this flow field -where, m is a constant- is:

a) Determine the corresponding stream function. Note that the value of the stream function along
the wall OA is zero.
b) Determine the equation of the streamline passing through the point B, located at x= 1, y= 4.

4) It is suggested that the velocity potential for the flow of an incompressible, non-viscous, two-
dimensional flow along the wall shown in figure is:

Is this a suitable velocity potential for flow along the wall? Explain.

5) Water flows over a flat surface at 4 ft/s, as shown in figure. A pump draws off water through a narrow
slit at a volume rate of 0.1 ft3/s per foot length of the slit. Assume that the fluid is incompressible and
inviscid and can be represented by the combination of a uniform flow and a sink. Locate the
stagnation point on the wall (point A) and determine the equation for the stagnation streamline. How
far above the surface, H, must the fluid be, to avoid getting sucked into the slit?

6) Two sources, one of strength (m) and the other with strength (3m), are located on the x- axis as shown
in figure. Determine the location of the stagnation point in the flow produced by these sources.
