1. Consider the 2-D flow field defined by the following velocity components: u=x/(1+2t) ; v=y/(1+t). For
this flow field find the equation of : (a) the streamline through the point(1,1) at t=1. (b) the pathline for a
particle released at the point (1,1) at t=1 and determine its new location at t=2.

For this flow field find the equation of :(a) the streamline through the point (/2,0) at t=/(4U).(b) the
pathline for a particle released at the point (0,0) at t=1 and determine its new location at t=2.
3. An incompressible viscous fluid is placed between two large parallel plates as shown. The
bottom plate is fixed and the upper plate moves with a constant velocity, U. For these conditions
the velocity distribution between the plates is linear, and can be expressed as u =U y/b.
Determine : (a) the volumetric dilatation rate, (b) the vorticity, and (c) the rate of angular
deformation.
