Example 11.25.  Find the complex potential for an ideal fluid flowing from left to right across the complex plane and around the segment from  .  

Figure 11.49  A uniform parallel flow.  

Explore Solution 11.25.

Enter the complex potential and determine the velocity potential and stream function.

Use Mathematica to make a plot of the stream function.

For illustration purposes, we choose A = 1.

The inverse of  .  Use conformal mapping  z = g(w)  to make an image of the flow.
