Question by AME536A Student

Hello Professor, What are the necessary condition(s) we must satisfy in order to have a potential flow? Specifically in Homework 10 Problem 3 part b it must be proved that potential flow is not satisfied for r<R. Is this just a matter of finding whether or not the curl of the velocity is equal to zero (ie irrotational)? Thank you.

You need to show that the velocities satisfy the potential equation.

In question 6 of this week’s assignment, I’m a bit stuck on finding the density of the air in the tube (part c). Can this air be treated as an ideal gas with the same temperature as the outside air?

09.11.24

Air can be treated as an ideal gas. If you fix its temperature to the surroundings, justify this with one or two sentences.
