The equation for the flow field is 
From the condition for stream function we get the velocity coordinate  as

Similarly we get the velocity coordinate  as

 

Step: 2

Thus the magnitude of the velocity is

Therefore the expression for the velocity at any point in the flow field is 

 

Step: 3

The vorticity of the flow is determined by using the relation

Since the vorticity of the flow is not equal to zero we can say that the flow is rotational

 

Step: 4

From the equation for the flow field is  we can say that the flow field is a family of parabolas symmetric about the
