Kisi bhi problem se pehle, chalte hain un do symbols ko clearly define karte hain jinpar hum baar baar rely karte hain, taaki kuch bhi unexplained na lage.

Neeche diya gaya picture har problem ke liye mental model hai: fluid particles ka ek loop ("nadi mein patte") drift karta hai, stretch hota hai aur twist hota hai, phir bhi jo swirl usne trap ki hai woh conserved rehti hai.


Level 1 — Recognition

Problem 1.1

Batao ki kya har situation Kelvin's theorem ki teeno assumptions satisfy karti hai, aur agar nahi, toh jo ek fail hoti hai use name karo. (a) Paani (incompressible treat kiya gaya, koi friction nahi) gravity ke under. (b) Honey ko dheere-dheere hilana (stirring). (c) Hawa jahan density pressure aur temperature dono par depend karti hai, koi friction nahi, sirf gravity.

Recall Solution

Teeno assumptions hain: (1) inviscid (koi friction nahi), (2) conservative body force (), (3) barotropic (). (a) Satisfied. Incompressible const trivially barotropic; gravity conservative hai (); assumption se inviscid. ✓ (b) (1) inviscid fail karta hai. Honey bahut zyada viscous hai — friction vorticity ko diffuse karta hai, isliye . (c) (3) barotropic fail karta hai. Jab , toh term ab vanish nahi hoti — yeh baroclinic generation hai.

Problem 1.2

Ek loop mein hai aur yeh area ke ek flat disk ko cap karta hai jiske upar disk ke perpendicular vorticity component uniform hai. Woh vorticity kya hai?

Recall Solution

Uniform area par deta hai ( se). Toh


Level 2 — Application

Problem 2.1

Ek material loop vorticity ke saath area par start hoti hai. Vortex stretching uska area ghata ke kar deti hai. nikalo.

Recall Solution

Kelvin kyun? Loop material hai, isliye uski circulation conserved hai. Area ghata, toh spin badha — skater-pulls-arms-in wala effect. Stretching term ke liye Vorticity and the vorticity equation dekho jo yeh karta hai.

Problem 2.2

Ek aerofoil density wali hawa mein par move kar raha hai aur bound circulation develop karta hai. (a) Kelvin's theorem se, shed hone wale starting vortex ki circulation kya hai? (b) Kutta–Joukowski lift theorem use karke, lift per unit span nikalo.

Recall Solution

(a) Motion se pehle hawa still thi: wing aur wake ko enclose karne wale bade material loop mein tha. Kelvin us total ko par rakhta hai: (b)

Problem 2.3

Ek material loop ek aisi surface ko cap karta hai jisme do parallel vortex tubes ghuse hain: ek ke saath, ek ke saath (opposite spin). Loop ki total circulation kya hai, aur kya yeh change hoti hai jab tubes drift karti hain (ideal fluid)?

Recall Solution

Circulation algebraically add hoti hai (flux additive hai): Kelvin's theorem se, jab tak dono tubes material loop se threaded rehti hain, rehti hai — tubes move aur deform ho sakti hain lekin material loop cross nahi kar sakti (yeh Helmholtz consequence hai). nahi badlega.


Level 3 — Analysis

Problem 3.1

Derivation mein, ek term hai. Dhyan se dikhao ki yeh zero hai, aur words mein explain karo ki loop ki kaunsi property ise vanish karati hai.

Recall Solution

Dekho , kyunki ko differentiate karne par milta hai (dot product par product rule). Toh Zero kyun: yeh ek perfect differential (pure ) ka integral hai. Ek closed loop ke around tum start par wapas aate ho, isliye end par value start par value ke barabar hoti hai — unka difference hai. Loop ka closed hona yeh karta hai.

Problem 3.2

Ek loop ek aisi flow mein hai jahan speed everywhere same hai lekin jahan density iske across alag hai taaki ek pure gradient nahi hai. Parent note ka Step 5 fail hota hai. ke liye surviving expression likho aur physical mechanism ka naam batao.

Recall Solution

Kinetic aur potential terms chale gaye lekin pressure term survive karti hai, Stokes' theorem se surface integral mein convert karne par baroclinic torque milta hai Mechanism hai baroclinic vorticity generation: jab constant density aur constant pressure ki surfaces misaligned hoti hain (), toh circulation create hoti hai. Yahi se sea breezes aur weather fronts spin up hoti hain.

Problem 3.3

Ek fluid par irrotational start hota hai ( everywhere) aur ideal hai (teeno assumptions hold hain). Prove karo ki yeh irrotational rehta hai, aur batao ki yeh kaunsa practical modelling shortcut justify karta hai.

Recall Solution

par, har material loop mein hai. Kelvin se, har material loop par hai, isliye sabhi ke liye, sabhi loops ke liye. Agar har surface ke liye hai (loop ko kisi bhi orientation mein ek point tak shrink karo), toh everywhere hai sabhi time ke liye. Yeh Lagrange–Cauchy theorem hai. Shortcut justify hua: ek irrotational velocity field ko likh sakte hain ek scalar velocity potential ke liye, jo vector problem ko ek scalar equation tak collapse kar deta hai (agar incompressible toh ).


Level 4 — Synthesis

Problem 4.1

Ek ideal, incompressible fluid mein ek vortex tube stretch hoti hai taaki uski length double ho jaye. Uska volume fixed hai (incompressible), isliye uska cross-sectional area half ho jata hai. Iske paas circulation aur initial area hai. (a) Initial vorticity nikalo. (b) Stretching ke baad final vorticity nikalo. (c) Explain karo ki yeh angular-momentum conservation ka fluid analogue kyun hai.

Recall Solution

(a) (b) Volume fixed hai aur , isliye . Kelvin ko material loop par fixed rakhta hai, toh Double length tak stretching ne spin double kar di. (c) Ek fluid tube jo conserve karte hue narrow hoti hai, woh ek spinning mass ki tarah hai jo andar khichti hai: moment of inertia kam, spin fast, angular momentum same. Kelvin ⟷ angular momentum conservation; vortex stretching ⟷ skater ka arms tucking.

Problem 4.2

Ek closed material loop of area ek ideal flow mein uniform vorticity se threaded hai. Yeh ek aisi region mein move karta hai jahan flow ise tak squeeze kar deta hai aur wahan fluid mein, loop ke saath, speed enter aur exit karte waqt everywhere equal hai (isliye term manifestly ek closed perfect-differential loop = 0 hai). ke conservation se, naya vorticity nikalo, phir enclosed kinetic swirl energy density proxies ka ratio compute karo.

Recall Solution

Circulation conserve karo: . Ratio Kyunki , area ko squeeze karne se badhta hai aur spin-energy proxy — concentrated swirl locally bahut zyada energetic hoti hai, jo Bernoulli's principle ke tight vortex cores mein pressure drops ke saath consistent hai.


Level 5 — Mastery

Problem 5.1

Ek atmospheric front mein horizontal pressure gradient hai aur ek horizontal density gradient (temperature contrast se) hai, mean density ke saath. Dono gradients perpendicular hain. Yeh use karke circulation generation ki rate per unit area estimate karo (integrand ka magnitude).

Recall Solution

aur ke saath, Integrand ka magnitude: Non-zero hai kyunki gradients misaligned hain — yeh purely baroclinic spin-up hai, jo Kelvin's theorem ke barotropic form ko invisible hai.

Problem 5.2

Ek real wing impulsively start hoti hai. Ideal outer flow mein Kelvin hold karta hai, lekin ek thin viscous boundary layer surface se chipki hai jahan Kelvin fail karta hai. Kelvin's theorem plus exception use karke, woh complete chain of events explain karo jo steady lift produce karti hai, aur identify karo ki kaunsi single assumption ka local failure indispensable hai.

Recall Solution
  1. Motion se pehle: still air, isliye wing + wake ko enclose karne wale kisi bhi bade material loop mein tha.
  2. Impulsive start par: potential (ideal) outer flow sharp trailing edge ke around infinite velocity ke saath slip karta — physically impossible.
  3. Viscosity act karti hai thin boundary layer mein (Kelvin ki inviscid assumption locally fail hoti hai), vorticity generate karti hai jo roll up hoti hai aur circulation ke starting vortex ke roop mein shed hoti hai.
  4. Kelvin globally bade loop par hold karta rehta hai: , isliye total rehta hai jabki wing bound circulation rakhti hai.
  5. Kutta–Joukowski phir steady lift deta hai . Indispensable failure: boundary layer mein inviscid assumption ka local breakdown. Viscosity ke bina starting vortex shed karne ke liye, Kutta condition kabhi meet nahi ho sakti aur koi net bound circulation (aur isliye koi lift) arise nahi ho sakti. Kelvin's theorem wahi hai jo guarantee karta hai ki shed vortex exactly hona chahiye.

Recall Ladder ka ek-line summary

Teeno assumptions pehchano ⟶ conservation apply karo ⟶ un terms ko analyse karo jo vanish hoti hain (aur woh jo zaroori nahi) ⟶ stretching + energy synthesise karo ⟶ real baroclinic aur viscous exceptions master karo.
