Extract

A recent paper on the potential incompressible flow through two-dimensional contracting ducts raises some interesting points that are relevant to the hodograph technique for solving this problem.

In this paper, Lau obtains a contraction shape by placing a source in a uniform flow that is contained in a doubly infinite strip. The resulting flow pattern is sketched in Fig. 1. The flow is from a region of unit velocity to one of velocity R, where R is the contraction ratio. A streamline, intermediate in position between ψ = 0 and ψ=1.0, is adopted as the contraction profile.
