Question: Show that the axisymmetric potential flow formed by a point source +m at (a, 0), a point sink-(m) at (+a, 0), and a stream U

Show that the axisymmetric potential flow formed by a point source +m at (–a, 0), a point sink-(−m) at (+a, 0), and a stream U in the x direction becomes a Rankine body of revolution as in Fig. P8.95. Find analytic expressions for the length 2L and diameter 2R of the body Fig P8.95
