About this document
Stream Function in Irrotational Flow by alibbaa is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) The stream function is introduced as an alternative to the velocity potential for describing two-dimensional flows. It reduces the number of dependent variables from two to one. 2) For an irrotational, two-dimensional flow, lines of constant stream function and velocity potential are orthogonal. Streamlines represent lines of constant stream function and are tangent to the velocity vectors. No flow can cross a streamline. 3) Basic irrotational flow patterns like uniform flow and doublets can be superim
