Some fluid flow investigations using graphical software

We review some models of fluid flow using the graphical software F(C): Complex Functions. We explain the equations that describe the complex potential as well the complex velocity for each model. The studied models are uniform, source and sink flows, superposition of flow and flow around circular obstacle. We present the concept of Color Domain and the way to read a graph. Examples are given for each model, including geometric representations of equipotential lines and streamlines, as well complex potential and velocity graphs.
