Section B

5.(a) Find the general equation of surfaces orthogonal to the family of spheres given by \(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=c z\).

[10M]


5.(b) Does a fluid with velocity \(q=\left[z-\dfrac{2 x}{r}, 2 y-3 z-\dfrac{2 y}{r}, x-3 y-\dfrac{2 z}{r}\right]\) possess vorticity, where \(q(u, v, w)\) is the velocity in the cartesian frame \(\vec{r}(x, y, z)\) and \(r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\)? What is the circulation in the circle \(x^{2}+y^{2}=9\), \(z=0\)?

[10M]

Given,

(i) Calculation of vorticity:

velocity \(\vec{q}=\left(z-\frac{2 x}{r}\right) \hat{i}+\left(2 y-3 z-\frac{2 y}{r}\right) \hat{j}+\left(x-3 y-\frac{2 z}{r}\right) \hat{k}\) \(=u \hat{i}+v \hat{j}+\omega \hat{k}\)

Now,

\[\nabla \times \vec{q}=\begin{vmatrix}\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \dot{k} \\ \frac{\partial}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial}{\partial y} & \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \\ z-\frac{2 x}{r} & 2 y-3 z-\frac{2 y}{r} & x-3 y-\frac{2 z}{r}\end{vmatrix}\]

So,

\[\begin{aligned} \nabla \times \vec{q}=& \hat{i}\left(-3+\frac{2 z}{r^{2}} \times \frac{y}{r}+3-\frac{2 y}{r^{2}} \times \frac{z}{r}\right)-\hat{j}\left(1+\frac{2 z}{r^{2}} \times \frac{x}{\sigma}-1-\frac{2 x}{r^{2}} \times \frac{z}{r}\right) \\ &+\hat{k}\left(+\frac{2 y}{r^{2}} \times \frac{x}{r}-\frac{2 x}{r^{2}} \times \frac{y}{\sigma}\right) \\ =& 0 \end{aligned}\]

\(\therefore\) fluid does not possess vorticity.

(ii) Calculation of circulation:

Given,

\(u=z-\frac{2x}{r}\), \(v=2y-3z-\frac{2y}{r}\), \(w=x-3y-\frac{2z}{r} \ldots (1)\)
\(C: x^2+y^2=9, z=0\)

Let \(x= 3 \cos \theta\), \(y= 3 \sin \theta\), \(z=0 \ldots (2)\)

\(\implies\) \(dx= -3 \sin \theta d \theta\), \(dy= -3 \cos \theta d \theta\), \(dz=0 \ldots (3)\)

Now, the circulation around the circle \(C\) is given by:

\(\Gamma=\int_{C} \vec{q} \cdot d \vec{r}=\int_{0}^{2 \pi} \vec{q} \cdot \overrightarrow{d r}\)
\(\implies \Gamma=\int_{0}^{2 \pi} u d x+v d y+w d z\)
\(\implies \Gamma = \int_{0}^{2 \pi} (0-2 \cos \theta)(-3 \sin \theta d \theta) + (6 \sin \theta - 2 \sin \theta - 2 )(3 \cos \theta d \theta) + 0\) \(\implies \Gamma= \int_{0}^{2 \pi} 6 \sin \theta \cos \theta d \theta + 12 \sin \theta \cos \theta d \theta\) \(\implies \Gamma= \int_{0}^{2 \pi} (2 \sin \theta \cos \theta \d \theta)\)
\(\implies \Gamma = \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \sin 2 \theta d \theta\) \(\implies \Gamma=0\)

Thus, the circulation is 0.

(iii) 2048.0625

[10M]


5.(e) Final the general integral of the partial differential equation \((y+z x) p-(x+y z) q=x^{2}-y^{2}\).

[10M]


6.(a) Determine the characteristics of the equation \(z=p^{2}-q^{2}\) and find the integral surface which passes though the parabola \(4 z+x^{2}=0\).

[15M]


6.(b) A simple source of strength \(m\) is fixed at the origin \(O\) in a uniform stream of incompressible fluid moving with velocity \(U \vec{i}\), show that the velocity potential \(\phi\) at any point \(P\) of the stream is \(\dfrac{m}{r}-U r \cos \theta\), where \(O P=r\) and \(\theta\) is the angle which \(OP\) makes with the direction \(i\). Find the differential equation of the streamlines and show that the lie on the surfaces \(U r^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta-2 m \cos \theta=\) constant.

[15M]

Given, strength of source = \(m\).

\(\implies\) The complex potential at any point \(z\) is given by, \(w=-m \log z\)

\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \frac{d w}{d z} &=\frac{-m}{z}=\frac{-m}{r e^{i \theta}}=\frac{-m}{r} e^{-i \theta} \\ \implies \frac{d w}{d z} &=\frac{-m}{r}(\cos \theta-i \sin \theta)=\frac{-m \cos \theta}{r}+\frac{i m \sin \theta}{r} \end{aligned}\) \(\implies \frac{d w}{d z}=\frac{-m x}{r^{2}}+i \frac{m y}{r^{2}}=-u_{m}+i v_{m}\)

where \(u_{m}\) and \(v_{m}\) are velocity components due to source at \(m\). \(\therefore u_{m}=\frac{m x}{r^{2}}, v_{m}=\frac{m y}{r^{2}}\)

Also, fluid is moving with velocity \(U \hat{i}\). \(\therefore\) Total velocity. \(\vec{q}=\left(U+\frac{m x}{r^{2}}\right) \hat{i}+\left(\frac{m y}{r^{2}}\right) \hat{j}=u \hat{i}+\hat{j} v\) Let \(\phi\) be the velocity potential. \(\therefore u=\frac{-\partial \phi}{\partial x}\)

\[\Rightarrow \frac{-\partial \phi}{\partial x}=U+\frac{m x}{r^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow d \phi=\left(-U-\frac{m x}{r^{2}}\right) d x\]

Integrating both sides, we get \(f=-U x-m \log r+f(y)\) where, \(f(y)\) is arbitrary function of \(y\) Also, \(\frac{-\partial \phi}{\partial y}=v=\frac{m y}{r^{2}} \ldots (i)\)

\[\Rightarrow d \phi=\frac{-m y}{r^{2}} d y\] \[\implies \phi=-m \log r+g(x) \ldots (ii)\]

where \(g(x)\) is an arbitrary function of \(x .\) From (i) and (ii) \(\phi=-U x-m \log r\)

\[\Rightarrow \phi=-U r \cos \theta-m \log r\]

Now, equation of streamlines is given by:

\[\frac{d x}{u}=\frac{d y}{v}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{u+\frac{m x}{r^{2}}}=\frac{d y}{\frac{m y}{r^{2}}}\]

\(\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{\frac{m y}{r^{2}}}{\left(U+\frac{m x}{r^{2}}\right)}\), which is the differential equation of streamlines.


6.(c) Let \(f(x)=e^{2 x} \cos 3 x\) for \(x \in[0,1]\). Estimate the value of \(f(0.5)\) using Lagrange interpolating polynomial of degree 3 over the nodes \(x=0\), \(x=0.3\), \(x=0.6\) and \(x=1\). Also compute the error bound over the interval \([0,1]\) and the actual error \(E(0.5)\).

[20M]


7.(a) Solve the partial differential equation \(\dfrac{\partial^{3} z}{\partial x^{3}}-2 \dfrac{\partial^{3} z}{\partial x^{2} \partial y} \dfrac{\partial^{3} z}{\partial x \partial y^{2}}+2 \dfrac{\partial^{3} z}{\partial y^{3}}=e^{x+y}\).

[15M]


7.(b) The space between two concentric spherical shells of radii \(a\), \(b(a < b)\) is filled with a liquid of density \(\rho\). If the shells are set in motion, the inner one with velocity \(U\) in the \(x-direction\) and the outer one with velocity \(V\) in the \(y- direction\), then show has the initial motion of the liquid is given by velocity potential \(\phi=\dfrac{\left \{ a^{3} U\left ( 1+\dfrac{1}{2} b^{3} r^{-3}\right ) x-b^{3} V \left ( 1+\dfrac{1}{2} a^{3} r^{-3}\right ) y\right\}}{\left (b^{3}-a^{3}\right )}\), where \(r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\), the coordinate being rectangular. Evaluate the velocity at any point of the liquid.

[20M]

Since the motion is irrotational, consequently, the corresponding velocity potential \(\phi\) exists such that:

\[\nabla^2 \phi =0 \ldots (1)\]

The boundary conditions for \(\phi\) are:

\[\left( \frac{- \partial \phi}{\partial r} \right)_{r=a} = U \cos \theta \ldots (2)\] \[\left( \frac{- \partial \phi}{\partial r} \right)_{r=b} = V \sin \theta \ldots (3)\]

2016-7(b)

The above equations suggest that \(\phi\) must involve terms containing \(\sin \theta\) and \(\cos \theta\). So, we take \(\phi\) as:

\(\phi=\left(A r+\frac{B}{r^{2}}\right) \cos \theta+\left(Cr+\frac{D}{r^{2}}\right) \sin \theta \ldots (3)\) \(\implies \frac{-\partial \phi}{\partial r}=\left(-A+\frac{2 B}{r^{3}}\right) \cos \theta+\left(-C+\frac{2 D}{r^{3}}\right) \sin \theta \ldots (4)\)

Using boundary condiitons for (1) and (2) in (4), we get:

\(\left(-A+\frac{2 B}{a^{3}}\right) \cos \theta+\left(-C+\frac{2 D}{a^{3}}\right) \sin \theta=U \cos \theta \ldots (5)\) \(\left(-A+\frac{2 B}{b^{3}}\right) \cos \theta+\left(-C+\frac{2 D}{b^{3}}\right) \sin \theta=V \sin \theta \ldots (6)\)

Comparing coefficients of \(\cos \theta\) and \(\sin \theta\) in (5) and (6), we get:

\(\frac{-A+2 B}{a^{3}}=U, \frac{-C+2 D}{a^{3}}=0 \ldots (7)\), and
\(\frac{-A+2 B}{b^{3}}=0, \frac{-C+2 D}{b^{3}}=\mathrm{V} \ldots (8)\)

Solving (7) and (8), we get:

\(A=\frac{U a^{3}}{b^{3}-a^{3}}\), \(B=\frac{U a^{3} b^{3}}{2\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right)}\), \(C=\frac{-U b^{3}}{b^{3}-a^{3}}\), \(D=\frac{-U a^{3} b^{3}}{2\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right)}\)

Putting these values in (3), we get:

\(\phi=\left(\frac{U a^{3} r}{b^{3}-a^{3}}+\frac{u a^{3} b^{3}}{2\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right) r^{2}}\right) \cos \theta+\left(\frac{-U b^{3}}{b^{3}-a^{3}} \cdot r-\frac{U a^{3} b^{3}}{2\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right) r^{2}}\right) \sin \theta\)
\(\implies \phi=\frac{\left\{U a^{3}\left(1+\frac{b^{3}}{2 r^{3}}\right) r \cos \theta-V b^{2}\left(1+\frac{a^{3}}{2 r^{3}}\right) r \sin \theta\right\}}{\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right)}\) \(\implies \phi=\frac{\left\{a^{3} U\left(1+\frac{b^{3} r^{-3}}{2}\right) x-b^{3} V\left(1+\frac{a^{3} r^{-3}}{2}\right) y\right\}}{b^{3}-a^{3}}\)

Now, let velocity at any point= \(\vec{q} = u\hat{i}+v\hat{j}\) where, \(u=\frac{-\partial \phi}{\partial x}\) and \(v=\frac{-\partial \phi}{\partial y}\)

Therefore,

\(u=\frac{-\partial \phi}{\partial x}=\frac{-a^{3} U\left(1+\frac{b^{3} r^{-3}}{2}\right)}{b^{3}-a^{3}}-\frac{a^{3} U x\left(\frac{-3}{2} b^{3} r^{-4} \frac{x}{r}\right)}{\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right)}\) + \(\frac{b^{3} V y\left(-\frac{3}{2} a^{3} r^{-4}, \frac{x}{r}\right)}{b^{3}-a^{3}}\) \(\implies u=\frac{-a^{3} U\left(1+\frac{b^{3} r^{-3}}{2}\right)}{b^{3}-a^{3}}+\frac{\frac{3}{2} a^{3} b^{3} x^{2} U r^{-5}}{\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right)}-\frac{\frac{3}{2} a^{3} b^{3} x y v r^{-5}}{b^{3}-a^{3}}\)

Also,

\[\implies u=\frac{-a^{3} u\left(1+b^{3} r^{-3}\right)}{\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right)}+\frac{3 a^{3} b^{3} x^{2} U r^{-5}}{2\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right)}-\frac{3 a^{3} b^{3} x y V r^{-5}}{2\left(-b^{3}-a^{3}\right)} \ldots (9)\] \[v=-\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}=\frac{-a^{3} U x\left(-\frac{3}{2} b^{2} r^{-4} \frac{y}{r}\right)}{b^{3}-a^{3}}+\frac{b^{3} V\left(1+\frac{1}{2} a^{3} r^{-3}\right)}{b^{3}-a^{3}} +\frac{b^{3} V y\left(-\frac{3}{2} a^{3} r^{-4} \frac{y}{r}\right)}{b^{3}-a^{3}}\] \[\implies v=\frac{-3 a^{3} b^{3} x y U r^{-5}}{2\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right)}+\frac{b^{3} v\left(1+\frac{1}{2} a^{3} r^{-3}\right)}{b^{3}-a^{3}}-\frac{3 a^{3} b^{3} y^{2} V r^{-5}}{2\left(b^{3}-a^{3}\right)} \quad \ldots(10)\]

\(\therefore\) velocity is given by:

\(\vec{q}=u \hat{i}+\hat{j}\), where \(u\) and \(v\) are given by (9) and (10).


7.(c) For an integral \(\int_{-1}^{1} f(x) d x\), show that the two point Gauss quadrature rule is given by \(\int_{-1}^{1} f(x) d x=f\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+f\left(-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\). Using this rule, estimate \(\int_{2}^{4} 2 x e^{x} d x\).

Let density \(p=10.6 g / c m^{3}\), thermal conductivity \(K=1.04 /\left(c m \sec ^{\circ} C\right)\) and specific heat \(\sigma=0.056 / g^{\circ} C\) the bar is perfectly isolated laterally with ends kept at \(0^{\circ} C\) and initial temperature \(f(x)=\sin (0.1 \pi x)^{\circ} C\) note that \(u(x, t)\) follows the head equation \(u_{t}=c^{2} u_{x x}\) where \(c^{2}=k /(\rho \sigma)\).
