3. Velocity components for the 2D inviscid incompressible flow are :

y x
u 2y , v 2 x
x 2
y
2 1/ 2
x 2
y2
1/ 2

Find the stream function, potential function and vorticity

4. Investigate whether the following flow is rotational or irrotational?

1 1 1
V 1 2 cos( )i 1 2 sin( )

5. Consider the superposition of a free stream velocity, a source of strength m at (-a,0) and a sink of
strength m at (a,0). Write the stream function and potential function for the combination.
Determine the location of stagnation points.

6. Consider the superposition of a free stream and a vortex pair at (0,a) and (0,-a) of circulation
and - respectively. Obtain the stream function and potential function for the combination.
Determine the location of stagnation points.
