Right-angle free-streamline hodograph map
ID: right-angle-free-streamline-hodograph-map
For an inviscid irrotational unit-speed layer turning through a right angle, the complex potential of a two-dimensional potential flow occupies the strip and its complex velocity occupies a fourth-quadrant quarter disk. The maps , and take this disk to the upper half-plane, sending upstream velocity one, corner stagnation zero, and downstream velocity to . The map has the same normalization, proving the displayed relation.
