Show that a velocity potential exists in a two-dimensional


Question: Show that a velocity potential exists in a two-dimensional steady irrotational incompressible fluid motion. The stream function of a two-dimensional motion of an incompressible fluid is given by

ψ = a x2 + bxy - c y3
      2                2

where a, b, and c are arbitrary constants. Show that, if the flow is irrotational, the lines of constant pressure never coincide with either the streamlines or the equipotential lines. Is this possible for rotational motion? (U of L)
