Hi,

I'm unsure as to what type of flow this is:

Stream Function: psi = -ln(r) + theta
Potential Function: phi = theta + ln(r)

For some reason, I don't think I'm plotting the flow correctly. Suggestions/advice? Thanks!

Have you tried calculating the velocity profiles from the stream and potential functions? Can you show your work?
