One of the more important potential flow results obtained using conformal mapping are the solutions of the potential flows past a family of airfoil shapes known as Joukowski foils. Like some of the other solutions presented here, we begin with Read more

Flow about a rotating cylinder is equivalent to the combination of flow past a cylinder and a vortex.As such in addition to superimposed uniform flow and a doublet, a vortex is thrown at the doublet centre which will simulate a Read more

The flow past a two-dimensional cylinder is one of the most studied of aerodynamics. It is relevant to many engineering applications See Experiment Report

Plane potential flows allows us to approximate the streamlines of a fluid flow.  It does this  by using Laplace’s equations to determine the basic velocity potentials and stream functions for simple irrotational flows.  In turn, these basic velocity potentials and stream Read more
