Stream function for resulting flow Calculator

The stream function (ψ) is a concept used in fluid dynamics to describe the flow of an incompressible and irrotational fluid in two dimensions. It’s a mathematical function that helps visualize and analyze fluid motion. 

• 𝜓 is the stream function
• V∞ is the free-stream velocity
• r is the radial distance from the origin (center) of the flow in polar coordinates
• 𝜃 is the polar angle, measured in radians, with respect to a reference direction
• Λ is the strength of the source flow
