Logarithmic flow in a sine-mapped half-strip
ID: logarithmic-flow-in-a-sine-mapped-half-strip
The conformal map of a vertical half-strip by sine sends , to the upper half-plane. The complex potential of a two-dimensional potential flow therefore pulls back the radial logarithmic flow originating at . Its complex velocity is , with a boundary singularity at . For , define . ThenThe bottom boundary carries rightward flow, the right boundary upward flow, and the left boundary flow away from the singular point. The velocity tends to at large height. The finite bottom corners are stagnation points, not singularities of .
