Given the flow with V=(C/r)e(r), where e(r) is the unit vector in polar coordinates directed along the radial?

direction. What are the u (x) and v(y) components of this flow?

Given the flow with V=(C/r)e(r), where e(r) is the unit vector in polar coordinates directed along the radial?
The u component: C/r [e(r) ∙ e(x)];


the v component: C/r [e(r) ∙ e(y)];


where e(x), e(y) are unit vectors in the x, y directions, respectively, otherwise known as unit vectors i, j. The dot indicates inner (dot) product between vectors.
