Two- and three-dimensional ideal fluid flow, integration of Euler’s equations; vorticity equations. Three-dimensional irrotational flow: virtual mass, method of images, distributed sources and sinks, linearized theory of axisymmetric flow past slender bodies, theorems of Taylor and Lagally. Two-dimensional irrotational flow: conformal mapping. Blasius force and momentum theorems; free streamline problems; vortex flows.
