Steady flow:
Continuity equation + Eulers equation of motion
-> u, v, p = f(t,x,y)
(Difficult to obtain analytically except for a particular restricted case!)

Velocity Potential
Definition
V = grad
Velocities u and v can be obtained by
differentiating the velocity potential
-> flow pattern is found
Velocity Potential
Equipotential line: = const
Direction of fluid velocity is at right angles to
the potential line
V ds = 0
