Abstract
A field of fluid motion, as we have seen, is characterized by two functions ϕ and ψ, or by their combination into the potential function w. Furthermore, either of the functions ϕ or ψ may be taken as a stream function, and whichever is so taken, the other will then serve as the velocity potential, Unless otherwise specified, however, it is customary to take ϕ for the velocity potential and ψ for the stream function.
