ABSTRACT

It was pointed out in the introduction to Part II that potential flows may be analyzed in a much simpler way than general fluid flows.Within the category of potential flows, the two-dimensional subset lends itself to even greater simplification. It will be shown in this chapter that the simplification is so great that solutions to Eqs. (11.5) and (11.6) may be obtainedwithout actually solving any differential equations. This is achieved through use of the powerful tool"ofcomplex variable theory.
