The velocity field near the core of a tornado can be approximated as [vec{V}=-frac{q}{2 pi r} hat{e}_{r}+frac{K}{2

Question:

The velocity field near the core of a tornado can be approximated as

\[\vec{V}=-\frac{q}{2 \pi r} \hat{e}_{r}+\frac{K}{2 \pi r} \hat{e}_{\theta}\]

Is this an irrotational flow field? Obtain the stream function for this flow.
