(Kinematics of fluid)

1. For a fluid flow through a divergent pipe of length L having inlet and
outlet radii of R1 and R2 respectively and a constant flow rate of Q,
assuming the velocity to be axial and uniform at any cross section, the
acceleration at the exit is:
Ans:

2. The components of velocity in a two dimensional


frictionless incompressible flow are u = t2 + 3y and v
= 3t + 3x. What is the approximate resultant total acceleration at the
point (3, 2) and t = 2?
Ans: 59

3. Two flows are specified as [IES-2008]


(A) u = y, v = - (3/2) x (B) u = xy2, v = x2y
Which one of the following can be concluded?
(a) Both flows are rotational
(b) Both flows are irrotational
(c) Flow A is rotational while flow B is irrotational
(d) Flow A is irrotational while flow B is rotational
Ans: (c)

4. A velocity field is given by u = 3xy and v = 3/2 ( x2- y2 ). What is the


relevant equation of a streamline?
dx 2 xy

5. Which one of the following stream functions is a possible irrotational flow
field?
(a) ψ = x3y (b) ψ = 2xy (c) ψ = Ax2y2 (d) ψ = Ax + By2
Ans: (b)

6. Which of the following functions represent the velocity potential in a two-

1. 2x + 3y 2. 4x2 – 3y2 3. cos (x – y) 4. tan–1 (x/y)
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
(a) 1 and 3 (b) 1 and 4 (c) 2 and 3 (d) 2 and 4
Ans: (a)
7. The velocity potential of a velocity field is given by = x2 – y2 +const. Its
stream function will be given by

(d) – 2xy + f(y)
Ans: (b)

8. The stream function in a 2-dimensional flow field is given by,


ψ =xy.
The potential function is:
( x2 + y 2 ) ( x2 − y 2 )
(a) 2 (b) 2 (c) xy (d) x2 y + y2 x
Ans: (b)

9. Consider fully developed Couette flow—flow between two infinite parallel


plates separated by distance h, with the top plate moving and the bottom
plate stationary as illustrated in Fig. The
flow is steady, incompressible, and two
dimensional in the xy-plane. The velocity
field is given by
u= V*(y/h); v=0;w=0.
Is this flow rotational or irrotational? If it
is rotational, calculate the vorticity
component in the z-direction. Do fluid
particles in this flow rotate clockwise or
counter clockwise? Ans: yes, "V/h, clockwise

Also calculate the linear strain rates in x and y directions, and calculate the
ε
shear strain rate xy .
Combine the result and write the 2D strain tensor. Are the xy axes principal
axes?

10. A fluid flows past a circular cylinder of radius a with an upstream speed
of V0 as shown in fig. A more advanced theory
indicates that if viscous effects are negligible,
the velocity of fluid along the surface of the
cylinder is given by V=V0 sinθ. Determine the
streamline and normal components of
acceleration on the surface of the cylinder as a
function of V0, a, and θ.
Ans: as=4(v02sinθcosθ)/a; an=4(v02sin2 θ)/a

11. The stream function for an incompressible flow


field is given by the equation ψ=3x2y-y3, where the
stream function has the units of m2/s with x and y in
meters. (a) Sketch the streamline(s) passing through
the origin. (b) Determine the rate of flow across the
straight path AB shown in fig.
