- Use a Schwarz-Christoffel transformation to find a conformal mapping w = S (z)
that will map the flow in the upper half-plane onto the flow from a channel back
into a quadrant, as indicated in Figure 11.108, where wo = 2VZ-2In ( v'2 - I)+ i?r.

- Consider the complex potential F (z) = w given implicitly by z = w + e"'.
(a) Show that F (z) = w determines the ideal fluid flow through an open
channel bounded by the rays
y =tr, -oo < x < - 1 and y = -1r, - oo < x < - 1
into the plane.
(b) Show that the streamline 'l/J (x, y) = c of the flow is given by the para-
metric equations
x=t+ e'cosc and y=c+e'sinc, for - oo < t < oo,
as shown in Figure 11.109, which has been called Borda's mouthpiece.
