The potential of irrotational transverse flow around a circular
cylinder of radius is
where is the magnitude of the velocity at large distances, and
the circulation around the cylinder. Verify that the
correct boundary conditions at the surface of the cylinder and at
large distances are satisfied.
Verify that the circulation around the cylinder is indeed
by integrating around a suitable contour.
For the flow of the previous question, find the pressure on the
cylinder surface as a function of angular location.
For the flow of the previous question, find the force on the
cylinder assuming the viscosity is zero, so there are no viscous
stresses on the cylinder surface. Is d'Alembert satisfied? Is
Kutta-Joukowski satisfied?
Derive the streamfunction of ideal stagnation point flow. The
steps are similar to the ones used to derive the corresponding
potential flow in class. From the streamfunction, determine the
mathematical form of the streamlines.
