STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Stream Function = -(Strength of Doublet/(2*pi))*(Length Y/((Length X^2)+(Length Y^2)))
ψ = -(µ/(2*pi))*(y/((x^2)+(y^2)))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Stream Function - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The Stream Function is defined as the quantity of fluid moving across some convenient imaginary line.
Strength of Doublet - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The Strength of doublet is considered in the potential flow.
Length Y - (Measured in Meter) - Length Y is the vertical distance from the origin to the y coordinate.

What is stream function?

A family of curves ψ = constant represents "streamlines," hence, the stream function remains constant along a streamline. The stream function represents a particular case of a vector potential of velocity, related to velocity by the equality.

What is doublet?

The doublet consists of a source and sink of momentum located in close proximity to one another. The analytical solution to the doublet was shown to be: where φ is the velocity potential and ψ is the stream function.

How to Calculate Stream function at point?
