4. 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 Figu4. The flow
is steady, incompressible, and two-dimensional in the xy-plane. The velocity field is given by ⃗V = (u, v)
= (Vy / h)i + 0 j .

convenience, let  = 0 along the bottom wall of the channel. What is the value of c along the top wall?
(b) Calculate the volume flow rate per unit width into the page of Figure 4 from first principles
(integration of the velocity field). Compare your result to that obtained from the stream function.
(c) For the casr in which V=3m/s and h = 3 cm, plot several streamlines using evenly spaced values of
stream function. Are the streamlines themselves equally spaced?
Dicuss why and why not. (10 points/each sub-question)
