Ringleb flow

$q$ = magnitude of velocity
$\theta$ = angle between velocity and $x$-axis
$\psi$ = stream function


\begin{displaymath}
\psi = \frac{1}{q} \sin\theta
\end{displaymath}

Take


\begin{displaymath}
k = \frac{1}{\psi}
\end{displaymath}

to be constant as a streamline.

Streamline equations:

\begin{eqnarray*}
x(q) &=& \frac{1}{2 \rho(q) } \left( \frac{1}{q^2} - \frac{2}{...
...\
y(q) &=& \pm \frac{1}{kq\rho(q)} \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{q^2}{k^2} }
\end{eqnarray*}

where

\begin{eqnarray*}
J(q) &=& \frac{1}{c} + \frac{1}{3c^3} + \frac{1}{5c^5} - \frac...
...t{ 1 - \frac{\gamma-1}{2} q^2 } \\
\rho(q) &=& c^{2/(\gamma-1)}
\end{eqnarray*}
