Conical techniques for incompressible non-viscous flow

An analytical investigation was made of incompressible potential flow fields in which the velocity components are homogeneous of order zero. Superpositions of such fields were then made and expressions were derived for the flow fields associated with constant-strength source and vortex sheets of fin...
