Potential flow

In fluid dynamics, potential flow, also known as irrotational flow (of incompressible fluids) is steady flow defined by the equations

Examples: general considerations

Any differentiable function may be used for f. The examples that follow use a variety of elementary functions; special functions may also be used.

Note that multi-valued functions such as the natural logarithm may be used, but attention must be confined to a single Riemann surface.
