Infinity Boundary Conditions

Far away from the body (toward infinity), in all directions, the flow approaches the uniform freestream conditions. Let be aligned with the x direction as shown in Figure 3.18. Hence, at infinity,

Equations (3.47a and b) are the boundary conditions on velocity at infinity. They apply at an infinite distance from the body in all directions, above and below, and to the left and right of the body, as indicated in Figure 3.18.
