Problem Prove that, if the normal velocity is zero at every point of the boundary of liquid occupying a simply connected region, and moving irrotationally , is constant through the interior of the region

Solution First we may consider the Greens theorem If are both single valued an continuously differentiable scalar point functions such that and . are also continuously differentiable, the is an element of inward

Where S is closed surface bounding any simply connected region , normal at a point on S , and V is the volume enclosed by S. Proof From vector calculus we have

Where

is a scalar point function and a is a vector point function in (1) , we get

Replacing a by

Integrating both sides of (2) over volume V, we get

By Gauss divergence theorem, we have Where Or is the unit vector drawn to surface S.

Or Again , and

Using (4) and (5),(3) reduces to Or Interchanging and Or

in (6) , we have

(6) and (7) together prove Greens theorem Now by using the above theorem we may deduce some significant results for instance let us consider two arbitrary flows around closed surface S which have and as its velocity potentials respectively Consider that is belongs to the flow which is flows outside of the surface and let the velocity potential of the flow flows in interior Now let (=k,say). Then everywhere. If be the velocity be the

potential of a liquid motion within S,Then by Greens theorem

Since

is the normal velocity outwards,

represents the flow across dS per unit time.

Then (8) shows that the total flow across S is zero ,thus the velocity potential is constant inside S (inside the surface S)
