2. Irrotational Vortex on the Ground (15 pts )
Here, we have an irrotational vortex on the ground by letting a uniform flow \(\left(U_{0}\right)\) normal to the vortex on the \( y \)-axis (see Fig. (i)).
A. Find the complex potential \( F(z)=\phi+i \psi \) in \( x-y \) coordinate [Hint: Fig. ii)\& Appendix 1](2 pts)
B. Calculate stream function \(\psi \) and velocity potential \(\phi \) in \( x-y \) coordinate [Hint: Appendix 2](2 pts)
C. Calculate velocity field \( u \& v \) from the velocity potential (2 pts )
D. Find two stagnation points and the value of stream function \(\psi_{\text {stag }}\) on the stagnation points (2 pts )
E. Find the shape function of the solid body (1 pts )
F. If you find a proper solid body, its shape would be a half dom with two stagnation points on the ground, as shown in Fig. i). However, depending on the strength of the irrotational vortex \(\Gamma \), the number of stagnation point on the ground would be changed from 0 or 1 or 2. For these three cases, drive the range of \(\Gamma \) to have 0 or 1 or 2 stagnation points on the ground, and draw the shape of solid body (4pts).
G. We may consider this irrotational vortex as a very simplified airfoil (see figure below). According to the Kutta-Joukowski theorem, lift force per unit span \(\mathrm{L}^{\prime}=\rho U_{0}\Gamma \) in the uniform flow \( U_{0}\). Then, do you think the life force of the airfoil near the ground is higher or lower than that in just uniform flow? [Hint: WIG ship](2 pts)
