APPLICATIONS TO FLOW PROBLEMS
As the real and imaginary parts of an analytic funetion are the solutions of the. Laplace's equation in two
variables, the conjugate functions provide solutions to a number of field and flow proble:
As an illustration, consider the irrotational motion of an incompressible fluid in two dimensions.
Assuming the flow to be in planes parallel to the xy-plane, the velocity V of a fluid partiele can be expressed as
Vaults oD)
Since the motion is irrotational, therefore, by § 6.18 (1), there exist a scalar function (x, y) such that
V= Vol, 9 2)
[The function (x, y) is called the velocity potential and the curves (x, y) = ¢ are known as equipotential
lines.]

Also the fluid being incompressible div V = 0 [by §8.7 (lie, Gi +57 = 0.
Substituting the values of v, and v, from (3), we get
which shows that the velocity potential ¢ is harmonic. It follows that there must exist a conjugate harmonic
function w(x, y) such that w(z) = 9(x, y) + iytx, y) (a)
is analytic.
Also the slope at any point of the curve y(x, y'

This shows that the velocity of the fluid particle is along the tangent to the curve (x, ») =’, ie. the
particle moves along this curve. Such curves are known as stream lines and w(x, )is called the stream function.
Also the equipotential lines 4(x, y) = ¢ and the stream lines yx. y) = ¢’ cut orthogonally.From (4), 2 20, EO; a [By C-R equations

* The magnitude of the fluid velocity = (v2 + v2) = | dwhdz |
‘Thus the flow pattern is fully represented by the function w(2) which is known as the complex potential.
Similarly the complex potential 2o(z) can be taken to represent any other type of 2-dimensional steady
flow. In electrostatics and gravitational fields, the curves o(x, y) = ¢ and yx, y) = ¢” are equipotential lines and
lines of force. In heat flow problems, the curves (x, y) = ¢ and yr, y) =c! are known as isothermals and heat flow

GEOMETRICAL REPRESENTATION OF w = f(z)
To find the geometrical representation of a function of a complex variable, it requires a departure from the
usual practice of cartesian plotting, where we associate a curve to a real function y = f(x).
In the complex domain, the function w = f(z)
ie. utiv=fati a)
involves four real variables x, y, u,v. Hence a four dimensional region is required to plot (1) in the cartesian
fashion. As it is not possible to have 4-dimensional graph papers, we make use of two complex planes, one for the
variable z = x + iy, and the other for the variable w = u + iv. If the point z describes some curve C in the z-plane,
the point w will move along a corresponding curve C’ in the w=plane, since to each point (x, y), there corresponds
a point (u, v) (Fig, 20.3). We then, say that a curve C in the z-plane is mapped into the corresponding curve C’ in
the w-plane by the function w = f (2) which defines a mapping or transformation of the z-plane into the w-plane.

w-plane. Every point in the z-plane is mapped onto w-plane in the same way. Thus if the w-plane is superposed
on the z-plane, figure is shifted through a distance given by the vector c. Accordingly, this transformation maps
a figure in the z-plane into a figure in the w-plane of the same shape and size.
In particular, this transformation changes circles into circles
(2) Magnification and rotation. w = cz, where c is a complex constant.

RO pel. re = pretooor
whence R =prand4=6 +a, .0. the point P(r, 6) in the z-plane is mapped onto the
point P* (pr, 0 + @) in the w-plane. Hence the transformation consists of magnifi-
cation (or contraction) of the radius vector of P by p= | ¢ | and its rotation
through an Zo ~ amp (c). Accordingly any figure in the z-plane is transformed
intoa geometrically similar figure in the w-plane. In particular, this transforma-
tion maps cireles into circles.
(3) Inversion and reflection. w = V2.
Here it is convenient to think the w-plane as superposed on 2-plane (Fig. 20.4).

Suppose two curves C, C, in the z-plane intersect at the point P and the corresponding curves C’ and C,’

intersection of the curves at P’in magnitude and sense, then the transformation is said to be conformal.

Let P(e) be a point in the region R of the z-plane

Obs, 4. The angle preserving property of the conformal transformation has many important physical applications.
For instance, consider the flow of an incompressible fluid in a plane with velocity potential 6 (x, y) and stream fonetion
‘vox, 9). We know that @'and are real and imaginary parts of some analytie function w = f(z). As @ = constant and y =
constant represent a system of orthogonal curves; these are transformed by the function w = /(2) into w set of orthogonal
ines in the w-plane and vice-versa.
‘Thus, the conjugate functions } and y when subjected (0 conformal transformation remain conjugate functions, ie.,
the solutions of Laplace's equation remain solutions of the Laplace's equation after the transformation. This is the rain
reason for the treat importance of the conformal transformation in applications.

Ifwis constant (say, a), then x?— "= a which ia a rectangular hyper-

in Fig. *2.7 (p. 455).
Again, if-x is constant (say, c), then y = u/2e and y? = c?—u, Elimina-
tion of y from these equations gives v* = 4e%(c? — u), which represents a
parabola. Similarly, ify is a constant (say,d), then elimination of x from the wptane
‘equations (1) gives v? = 4d%(d° + u) which is also a parabola. Fig. 206
Hence the pair of lines x = ¢ and y = d parallel to the axes in the
z-plane map into orthogonal parabolas in the w-plane as shown in Fig. 20.6.
