In a two-dimensional fluid motion, Show that a streamline cuts itself at a point of zero velocity, and that the two branches are at right angles when the motion is irrotational. Sketch the streamline which passes through the stagnation point of the motion, p = U (y - a tan2), and determine the velocity at the points where this line crosses the axis of (y).
