a_{1}+\, b_{2}=0 | |
a_{2}+\, b_{2}=0 | |
a_{2}+\, b_{1}=0 |
Question 7 Explanation:
Given that the flow is incompressible.
\therefore \quad \operatorname{div} \bar{V}=0
\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left(5+a_{1} x+b_{1} y\right)+\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\left(8+a_{2} x+b_{2} y\right)=0
a_{1}+b_{2}=0

\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left(5+a_{1} x+b_{1} y\right)+\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\left(8+a_{2} x+b_{2} y\right)=0
a_{1}+b_{2}=0
