Consider
G
the steady, two-dimensional velocity field given
G G
by V = ( u, v ) = (1.3 + 2.8 x ) i + (1.5 − 2.8 y ) j . Verify that this flow
field is incompressible.
Solution of Example 1:
∂u ∂v
Check if ∂x + ∂y = 0 ?
∂u
u = 1.3 + 2.8 x , = 2.8
∂x
∂v
v = 1.5 − 2.8 y , = −2.8
∂y
∂u ∂v
Since ∂x + ∂y = 0 , the given flow field is incompressible.
Example 2
The u velocity component of a steady, two-dimensional,
incompressible flow field is u = ax − bxy , where a and b
