1. Complete the Iollowing statements:

a) II you took a long time-exposure photograph oI a luminous particle moving with
the Ilow in a river, the image would be a ( pathline , streakline , streamline ).

b) A is a curve in a Ilow Iield which has the property that
the velocity vector oI each particle on the curve is tangent to the curve.

c) There are a ( Iinite , variable , inIinite ) number oI streamlines in a Ilow Iield.

d) II 5 G is the inIinitesimal displacement vector along a streamline and 9 is the
* *
velocity oI a particle on the streamline, then 5 G 9 = .

e) II you continuously inject dye at a Iixed point into a Ilowing Iluid in such a way
that the dye particles essentially match the speed oI the Iluid as they enter the
Ilow, the pattern oI dye you see in a snapshot oI the Ilow is a ( pathline ,
streakline , streamline ).

I) A streamline is an ( Eulerian , Lagrangian ) concept.

g) A pathline is an ( Eulerian , Lagrangian ) concept.


2. II you saw a plot oI a Ilow in which two initially separate streamlines eventually
intersected with each other at a point, what would that necessarily tell you about the Iluid
velocity at that point? Why?

4. In a certain river with a velocity Iield W [ Y ) with respect to the ground, the ( ,
*
concentration oI dissolved oxygen is given by the Iunction W [ I ) . A small Iish is in the ( ,
*
river and has a velocity W 8 ) ( with respect to the ground.

The time rate oI change oI I experienced by the Iish is:

The Iish lays eggs that are very small and neutrally buoyant. The time rate oI change oI I
experienced by the eggs is:

Some oI the eggs eventually become trapped among rocks and remain there. The time
rate oI change oI I experienced by the eggs is then:

5. In an incompressible Ilow where = +9 =0 , the density in general
'W W

a) may vary in time at a particular point in the Ilow Iield
b) must be a constant at all points in the Ilow Iield
c) may vary in space but not time throughout the Ilow Iield

6. For a steady one-dimensional Ilow with a velocity magnitude X,

a) the velocity gradient X [ must be zero at any point
b) the density must be the same at all points in space
c) the rate oI change oI the density oI a particle as it moves through the Ilow
depends only on the spatial variation oI the density
