Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the velocity field v = (3y)i + (3x)j, determine if the flow is steady and irrotational, and compute vorticity.
💡 Hint: Check the conditions for steady state and use curl to calculate.
Calculate the vorticity components at the point (0, -1, 1) for u = y^2, v = -xy, and w = 0.
💡 Hint: Remember the connections between velocity components!
