For two-dimensional, incompressible, irrotational flow, the superposition of a doublet, a uniform flow, and a free vortex

Question:

For two-dimensional, incompressible, irrotational flow, the superposition of a doublet, a uniform flow, and a free vortex represents the flow around a circular cylinder with circulation. Obtain the stream function and velocity potential for this flow pattern, using a clockwise free vortex. Find the velocity field, locate the stagnation points and the cylinder surface, and obtain the surface pressure distribution. Integrate the pressure distribution to obtain the drag and lift forces on the circular cylinder. Relate the lift force on the cylinder to the circulation of the free vortex.
