    Theoretical Fluid Mechanics - Ideal Fluid Flow

    For whatever reason I was hesitant to find \phi for y=0 and felt as though it needed to be a general equation for \phi applicable to any value of y. Why is it okay to use \phi at a specific value of y for Bernoulli's equation? Is it because it's asking for the pressure on the upper surface of a...

    Thank you for your input BvU. You are correct that it is easy to see that \psi=0 when y=0 (i.e. when z is real), however, I still need to isolate \phi for use in Bernoulli's equation. I believe I need to do this for all arbitrary y values, and not just for y=0...

    Homework Statement Write down the complex potential for a source of strength m located at z=ih and a source of strength m located at z=-ih. Show that the real axis is a streamline in the resulting flow field, and so deduce that the complex potential for the two sources is also the complex...
