We have studied the point source (sink) and the line source (sink) of infinite depth into the paper. Does it make any sense to define a finite-length line sink (source) as in Fig P8.98? If so, how would you establish the mathematical properties of such a finite line sink? When combined with a uniform stream and a point source of equivalent strength as in Fig. P8.98 should a closed-body shape be formed? Make a guess and sketch some of these possible shapes for various values of the dimensionless parameter m/(UxL2).
