Question

Problem 5 Circulation is defined as where C is a contour around area A, u is the velocity, w is the vorticity, s is a unit vector along the contour, n is the unit normal to the area. Circulation is a measure of the rotation of a fluid in a finite region. Consider a long cylinder of radius R containing a fluid, rotating about its axis (i.e., in the azimuthal direction) such that the fluid is in solid-body rotation. The velocity, purely in the azimuthal direction as shown in the top view of the problem, is given by ug-cr, where c is a constant (equal to the angular rotation rate) and r is the radial coordinate. If the radius of the cylinder is doubled, keeping the angular rotation rate constant, what happens to the circulation?
