the coordinates and the velocity potential and stream functions,
q,
and
"'.
Along each boundary, therefore, the two conditions to
be
satisfied can be
written
where
the
coefficients are constants. More conveniently we write
Im(kz+f{)=p,
Im(mz +
n{)
==
q,
(7.38)
where
k,
f,
m,
n are complex,
p,
q are real numbers.
"When
the boundaries
of the flow region are mapped on to the real axis of the
~-plane,
the
corresponding values of
~
are real.
On
introducing the functions
F==d{/d~,
Z=dz/d~,
we obtain by differentiating in (7.38)
Im(kZ
+ fF) = 0,
lm(mZ
+ nF) = 0. (7.39)
We now seek to find two functions
F, Z of
the
complex variable
~
which satisfy conditions of type (7.39) on segments of
the
real
~-axis.
Figure 7.12e shows two neighbouring segments
MIM2
and
M2M3
with
the
two conditions displayed for each segment.
In
order to examine the
behaviour of
F and Z when a singular point, say M
2
,
is
contoured we use
the
standard result that for a function
f(z)
which
is
analytic in a region of
the
upper half-plane adjacent
to
the real axis and continuous
up
to a
segment along which
1m
{f(z)}
= 0, the analytic continuation in the lower
half-plane is such that in conjugate points
the
function takes conjugate
values.
To
apply this result to the linear combinations of F and Z
associated with MIM2 (Fig. 7. 12e), a cut
is
made along segment
M2M3
and
the points
on
the
upper and lower sides of the cut are denoted by M'
and
M".
The values of F and Z at point
M'
after contouring the singular
point
M2
are written as
F*
and
Z*.
Thus we have
klZ*+flF*=klZ+llF.
mlZ*+nlF*=fiilZ+;itF.
(7.40)
With regard to
the
segment
M2M3
the conditions can
be
rewritten
(7.41)
After some manipulation to eliminate
F and Z from (7.40) and (7.41) we
can write
Z*,
F*
in
the
form
(7.42)
where
(310
(32,
'Ylo
'Y2
are constants involving the
klo
flo etc. in a
complicated way, i.e.
F and Z undergo a linear transformation when
contouring a singular point. We can interpret (7.42) to mean that
F and Z
