Fluid Mechanics: ME201

Assignment # 5
Due date: 2ndOct’ 2023

To be submitted:

(1) Consider a complex function:F (z) = φ(x, y) + ιψ(x, y) = cosh−1 z where

z = x + ιy. Write the above expression to first obtain x = x(φ, ψ) and
y = y(φ, ψ). Hence eliminate φ to obtain ψ and sketch the isocontour
corresponding to ψ = 0. If the function ψ represents the streamfunction
for a two-dimensional fluid flow, sketch the other streamline such that the
volumetric flow rate between the streamline and the ψ = 0 streamline is
1m2 /s per unit depth of the flow.
(2) Sketch the deformation of a fluid element subject to the following local
two-dimensional velocity gradient:
 
1 0 
∇u =  
0 −1

Sketch the streamlines corresponding to the above flow field.
