Use the software of your choice (mathlab, mathcad, mathematica,
...) to plot lines of constant streamfunction for
irrotational, incompressible flow around a cylinder. Take
.
Also plot the isobars. Take . (Check that you have
the right pressure values at the stagnation points and top and
bottom points of the cylinder.) Are the pressures on front and rear
of the cylinder the same? Are they the same on top and bottom?
Now add to the streamfunction. (This does not change
the boundary conditions since and at large
.) Replot the streamlines.
Replot the isobars. Comment on the pressures. Will the force
still be zero? If not, in what direction will it be?
Add another to the streamfunction. Replot the
streamlines.
