With the streamfunction convention (u,v)=(ψy​,−ψx​), constant scalar vorticity gives u×ω=−ω∇ψ. For steady inviscid constant-density flow without body force, this integrates to
21​∣u∣2+ωψ+p/ρ=C

throughout a connected fluid region. Reversing the streamfunction convention changes the sign of its term; the declared convention matters.
