Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 1
Save

A steady, incompressible, two–dimensional velocity field is given by V‾ = (u, v) = (0.5 + 0.8x)î + (1.5 − 0.8 y)ĵ The number of stagnation points in the flow field is

Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 1
Stagnation points are those points where (u, v) = 0

u = 0.5 + 0.8x = 0

∴ x = −0.5 / 0.8 = −0.625

v = 1.5 − 0.8y = 0

∴ y = 1.5 / 0.8 = 1.875

i.e there is only one stagnation point at (−0.625, 1.875)

A stream function is given by ψ = 4x − 3y. The magnitude of resultant velocity at any point is

Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 2
Given, ψ = 4x − 3y

As per definition of stream function

u = ∂ψ / ∂y and v = −∂ψ / ∂x

∴ u = −3 & v = −4 So V- = −3î − 4ĵ

and magnitude of resultant velocity is given |⃗V⃗ | = √u2 + v2 = 5

Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 3

Match List-I (Pipe flow) with List-II (Type of acceleration) and select the correct answer.

List-I List-II

a. Flow at constant rate through a bend 1. Zero acceleration

b. Flow at constant rate through a 2. Local and convective acceleration

straight uniform diameter pipe

c. Gradually changing flow through a bend 3. Convective acceleration

d. Gradually changing flow through a straight pipe 4. Local acceleration

Codes:

a b c d

Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 3
For flow through bends, the direction of velocity changes as the fluid moves through the bend but since the flow rate is constant, and if cross-section is uniform the flow is steady, hence only convective acceleration exists.

Similarly for constant flow rate through a straight, uniform diameter pipe, there is no change of velocity, (neither magnitude nor direction) so total acceleration is zero.

For a flow through bend where the discharge is not constant, the velocity changes both due to geometry of pipe and with time, so both local and convective acceleration exist.

For variable discharge through a straight pipe, the velocity will change with time, but it will be same across the whole pipe at any particular time instant, i.e the flow is unsteady but uniform, only local acceleration exists.

Which one of the following stream functions represents a possible irrotational flow field?
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 4
For irrotational flow, stream function must satisfy Laplace equation i.e

∂2ψ / ∂x2 + ∂2ψ / ∂y2 = 0

Checking all the given options, we find option (A) satisfies the equation.

Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 5

The velocity potential function for a two dimensional flow field is given by ϕ = x2 − y2. The magnitude of velocity at the point (1,1) is
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 5
ϕ = x2 − y2

we know u = −∂ϕ / ∂x and v = −∂ϕ / ∂y

∴ u = −(2x), v = −(−2y)

⇒ u = −2x, v = 2y

Thus at (1, 1),⃗V⃗ = −2î + 2ĵ |⃗V⃗ | = √4 + 4 = 2 × 21/2

Pipe 1, branches into three pipes as shown in the given figure. The areas and corresponding velocities are as given in the following table the value of V2 in cm per second will be

Pipe Velocity (cm per second) Area (sq. cm)
1. 50 20
2. V2 10
3. 30 15

Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 6

For incompressible fluid, A1V1 = A2V2 + A3V3 + A4V4

1000 = 10 V2 + 450 + 200

V2 = 35 cm/s

If the stream function for a 2D flow is given as ψ = 3xy, then the velocity at the point (2, 3) will be
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 7
Given, ψ = 3xy By definition of ψ

u = ∂ψ / ∂y and v = −∂ψ / ∂x

So u = 3x, v = −3y

at point (2, 3)

⃗V = 6î − 9ĵ and |⃗V⃗ | = √62 + 92 = 10.816

≈ 10.82 Units

If the velocity potential function ϕ for a flow satisfies the Laplace equation δ2ϕ⁄δx2 + δ2ϕ⁄δy2 + δ2ϕ⁄δz2 = 0 then the flow is
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 8
Velocity potential function is defined only for irrotational flows, whether the flow is steady or unsteady, compressible or incompressible. If it also satisfies Laplace equation then the flow is also incompressible.

Which of the following flow is rotational? (where u and v are velocity components in x and y directions respectively)
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 10
For a 2D flow to be rotational

Ωz = 0

Checking option (A)

Ωz = ∂v / ∂x −∂u / ∂y =3/2 − 1 ≠ 0

Checking option (B)

Ωz = ∂v / ∂x −∂u / ∂y = 2xy − 2xy = 0

For irrotational flow, the curl of velocity vector is
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 11
The curl of velocity vector represents the vorticity of flow, and for irrotational flow, the vorticity is zero. i.e curl of velocity = 0 for irrotational flow.

A flow field satisfying ⛛.V‾= 0 as the continuity equation represents
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 12
For general flow, ∂ρ / ∂t + V- ∙ (ρV ) = 0 ⋯ ①

If ρ = C

i. e. ρ ≠ ρ(x, y, z, t)

Hence equation ① is reduced to V ∙⃗V = 0 for incompressible flow.

A steady incompressible 2D flow field is given by u = 2x2 + y2 and v = −4xy. The convective acceleration along x-direction at point (1, 2) is
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 13
u = 2x2 + y2, v = −4xy

ax = (2x2 + y2)(4x) + (−4xy)(2y) + 0 + 0

∴ at point (1, 2) ax

= (2 + 4)(4) − (8)(4) ax

= 24 − 32 ax

= −8 units

A two-dimensional flow field is defined as V‾ = xî − yĵ. The equation of the streamline passing through the point (1, 2) is
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 14
V = xî − yĵ

i. e u = x, v = −y

For a streamline in 2D flow,

dy / dx =v / u ⟹ dy / dx =−y /x

⇒ ln y = ln 1 / x + C

at (1, 2) ln 2 = ln 1 + C

C = ln 2

So, ln y = ln 2 / x

or xy = 2 or xy − 2 = 0

In a two dimensional flow in x-y plane, if ∂u / ∂y = ∂v / ∂x , then the fluid element will undergo
Detailed Solution for Test: Fluid Kinematics Level - 1 - Question 15
For a 2D planar flow the deformation rate is given as ε̇ xy = ∂v / ∂x + ∂u / ∂y And rotation rate is given as

ωz = 1/[∂v / ∂x − ∂u / ∂y ]

Therefore in the given case ε̇ xy = 2 ∂u / ∂y and ωz = 0

Thus along with translation, elements will deform but shall not rotate.
