In fluid dynamics, two types of stream function are defined:
- The two-dimensional (or Lagrange) stream function, introduced by Joseph Louis Lagrange in 1781,[1] is defined for incompressible (divergence-free), two-dimensional flows.
- The Stokes stream function, named after George Gabriel Stokes,[2] is defined for incompressible, three-dimensional flows with axisymmetry.
The properties of stream functions make them useful for analyzing and graphically illustrating flows.
The remainder of this article describes the two-dimensional stream function.
Two-dimensional stream function
Assumptions
The two-dimensional stream function is based on the following assumptions:
- The space domain is three-dimensional.
- The flow field can be described as two-dimensional plane flow, with velocity vector
- The velocity satisfies the continuity equation for incompressible flow:
Although in principle the stream function doesn't require the use of a particular coordinate system, for convenience the description presented here uses a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system with coordinates .
Derivation
The test surface
Consider two points and in the plane, and a curve , also in the plane, that connects them. Then every point on the curve has coordinate . Let the total length of the curve be .
Suppose a ribbon-shaped surface is created by extending the curve upward to the horizontal plane , where is the thickness of the flow. Then the surface has length , width , and area . Call this the test surface.
Flux through the test surface
The total volumetric flux through the test surface is
where is an arc-length parameter defined on the curve , with at the point and at the point . Here is the unit vector perpendicular to the test surface, i.e.,
where is the rotation matrix corresponding to a anticlockwise rotation about the positive axis:
The integrand in the expression for is independent of , so the outer integral can be evaluated to yield
