Some Examples of the Two-Dimensional Motion of a Liquid

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

The present communication forms, in essentials, part of a paper read before the Liverpool Mathematical Society in 1900 by Rev. S. Sircom, S.J., M.A. Formulae for the stream lines in the two-dimensional irrotational motion of a liquid were given in certain particular cases and illustrated graphically by means of a series of remarkable diagrams. These diagrams are unique; it was felt that their reproduction in permanent form was desirable and would at the same time prove of interest to readers of the Mathematical Gazette.
