Potential of velocities generated by a localized vortex distribution
Abstract
For a flow containing regions with nonzero vorticity, a method is described for determining the velocity potential in the irrotational regions from the vorticity distribution by means of a decomposition of the Biot-Savart law. By this method, the velocity potential due to a vortex line of given vortex intensity is calculated.
