For a given velocity field represented by V = (x^2 + y^2)i + (2xy)j + (z^3)k, calculate the material acceleration at the point (1,2,3).
💡 Hint: Break the velocity components down and apply both local and spatial changes.
Derive an expression for convective acceleration in a fluid moving through a pipe with a variable cross-section, considering the effects of both position and time.
💡 Hint: Remember how the velocity changes in response to the cross-section and how that affects your acceleration calculations.
