Beltrami FlowsLet’s consider a flow defined by the following velocity field :
u =
8<
:
u1 = C sin ↵z + B cos ↵yu2 = A sin ↵x + C cos ↵zu3 = B sin ↵y + A cos ↵x
(19)
1 Show that this flow is incompressible.2 Show that the velocity field satisfies the Beltrami property, i.e.
!!! = �u
where � 2 IR. Give � as function of ↵.3 Write the non-linear terms of the Navier-Stokes equations written for
the vorticity. What can we conclude ?

Atomic blastLet’s assume that, in an atomic explosion, a release of a significant amount ofenergy E occurs instantaneously within a small region (one may say, at a point).In the early stage, a strong spherical shock wave develops at the point ofdetonation.
1 Let’s assume that the radius R of the shock wave front, at an interval oftime t after the explosion only depends on the quantities E, t and on theinitial air density ⇢0. Using dimensional analysis, give an expression for R interms of E, t and ⇢0.
2 Then give an expression of E in terms of R, t and ⇢0.3 From a series of high speed photograph, Taylor has measured that the front
was at R = 125m at time t = 0.025s. Give the Taylor’s estimation of theenergy of the explosion. This was considered as top secret and caused ’muchembarrassment’ in American government circles. NA : ⇢0 = 1.3kg/m3.
