Three students Tom, Jack and Billy are discussing why the two-dimensional velocity field can be represented solely by a scalar here. Tom thinks this representation assumes a high Reynolds number irrotational flow; Jack thinks that the assumption is an inviscid irrotational flow; Billy guesses that the representation holds for a steady inviscid subsonic flow. None of them has provided the correct answer. Discuss what is the underlying assumption invoked to allow for this representation
