Example 5
EXAMPLE 5 A fluid is flowing directly away from the origin at a rate equal to a constant b times the distance from the origin (Figure 13.4.12). Find the curl and divergence of the flow field.
Figure 13.4.12 We have
The fluid flow field is irrotational and the divergence at every point is 2b.
