Write a short note on :

Stream function and Velocity potential function

Stream Function:

-It is defined as the scalar function of space and time, such that its potential derivative with respect to any direction gives the velocity component at right angles to that direction.

-It is denoted by $'\psi$ and defined for only 2-D flow.

Mathematically for steady flow

$\psi=f(x,y)$

$\therefore …
