Question:

The three components of velocity in a flow field are given by

\[ \begin{aligned} u & =x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2} \\ v & =x y+y z+z^{2} \\ w & =-3 x z-z^{2} / 2+4 \end{aligned} \]

(a) Determine the volumetric dilatation rate and interpret the results.

(b) Determine an expression for the rotation vector. Is this an irrotational flow field?
