SUMMARY
The discussion centers on converting the velocity potential from polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates, specifically for the stream function ψ=9r²sin(θ). The user seeks assistance in applying standard transformation formulas typically found in engineering textbooks, such as those by Fox & McDonald. A reference link to coordinate transformations is provided, indicating the need for clarity on the conversion process and additional examples, such as finding the polar form of 1/4i and 1/z.
