Question: A doublet along the x - axis is present at the origin of a 2 D xy - plane. Additionally, there is a uniform flow

A doublet along the x-axis is present at the origin of a 2D xy-plane. Additionally, there is
a uniform flow of velocity V in the x-direction. Use potential flow theory and superposition
of elementary planar irrotational flows.
(a) Derive the stream function for the combined flow. [30]
(b) The streamline =0 forms a circle, indicating that the combined flow represents the
flow over a cylinder. Find the radius of this cylinder (i.e. r for which =0).[30]
(c) Use the definition of the stream function to derive the velocity on the surface of the
cylinder. [30]
(d) Use Bernoullis equation to find the pressure distribution over the cylinder surface. [10]
