Abstract
We proceed to discuss in this chapter the irrotational motion of a perfect fluid possessing an axis of symmetry. All flows discussed thus far in detail are of this kind—a constant velocity flow parallel to the axis, a source located on the axis and a doublet with axis parallel to the axis and located on it. A great variety of axially symmetric flows may be built up of these elements by plain superposition and by differentiation in a direction parallel to the axis.

Notes
Note will be taken of the special unit here introduced for the measure of the stream function Ψ, resulting in the omission of the factor 2 π found in the corresponding discussion in Division B IX 1.
Division A VII (3.2).
