Identifying Rotational or Irrotational Flow
Identifying Rotational or Irrotational Flow
(OP)
Hello Everyone,
Suppose that I have a Plot of a Velocity Field in terms of it Stream Lines.
How would I say, just looking at the Stream Line Plot, whether the Flow is Rotational or Ir-rotational?
Please see the attached pic showing the Plot, with the Velocity Field equation. The curl of the Velocity Field is zero, hence the Flow is Ir-rotational (zero vorticity).
Thanks,
Vikalp.
