Question

Potential function for flow over a cylinder

Answer 1

Potential flow around a circularcylinder. In mathematics, potential flow around a circular cylinder is a classical solution for the flow of an inviscid, incompressible fluid around acylinder that is transverse to the flow. Far from the cylinder, the flow is unidirectional and uniform

Answer 2

Answer:

potential flow around a circular cylinder is a classical solution for the flow of an inviscid, incompressible fluid around a cylinder that is transverse to the flow. ... The flow has no vorticity and thus the velocity field is irrotational and can be modeled as a potential flow.
