- Further thought about the thickening process will make it evident that the increase in velocity that takes place along a normal to the surface must be continuous. Let у be the perpendicular distance from the surface at any point and let и be the corresponding velocity parallel to the surface. If и were to increase discontinuously with у at any point, then at that point du/dy would be infinite. This would imply an infinite shearing stress [since the shear stress r = fi(du/dy)] which is obviously untenable

- . For analysing certain two-dimensional flows, for example the flow over a circular cylinder with and without circulation, it is convenient to work with polar coordinates. The axisymmetric equivalents of polar coordinates are spherical coordinates, for example those used for analysing the flow around spheres. Spherical coordinates are illustrated in Fig. 3.28. In this case none of the coordinate surfaces are plane and the directions of all three velocity components vary over the flow field, depending on the values of the angular coordinates в and ip. In this case the relationships between the velocity components and potential are given by
