An Introduction to Hydrodynamics
• The exact opposite of the outward flow from a source is the inward flow to a sink
Basic Flowfields – Free Vortex
• A concentric circular streamlines
• To find the velocity distribution and stream function for this flowfield, calculate the
circulation in counterclockwise direction around a differential element
Basic Flowfields – Free Vortex
It can be seen without proof that the stream function of a clockwise vortex of strength
will be given by
Basic Flowfields – Forced Vortex
• The so-called forced vortex is defined by the
velocity distribution vt = r .
