What is the definition of the stream function?
Think about how it connects velocity and flow.
How does the stream function ensure the continuity equation is satisfied?
Consider the relationship between ψ and velocity.
What does the stream function relate to in fluid flow?
Focus on the role of ψ in defining how fluid moves.
True or False: The stream function can only be used in three-dimensional flows.
Recall the definition's dimensional constraints.
If the stream function is given by ψ(x, y) = xy, find the velocity components and show if they satisfy the continuity equation.
Check each derivative carefully!
Design a simple experiment to visualize streamlines in water flow using a stream function.
Think about how you can introduce the dye and observe the flow patterns.
