The chain rule gives
To make the directions explicit, set and . Multiplying by the complex conjugate of the denominator gives the logarithmic flow in a sine-mapped half-strip:
In the open strip . The vertical component is negative near the lower left wall where , and positive above that curve. On the bottom the flow is rightward. On the right wall it is upward, whereas on the left wall it points downward below and upward above . The field is tangent to the boundaries except at the source and vanishes at the two bottom corners. At large , , so it tends to a uniform upward field .
Near , , showing a radial boundary source. The streamlines are the curves ; the figure shows their orientation without reusing the exam's graphics.
