Question 10.14.3: A fluid motion for which the Reynolds number is small (so th...
A fluid motion for which the Reynolds number is small (so that nonlinear terms in velocity are negligible) is known as a creeping flow or Stokes’s flow. For a steady creeping flow of an incompressible viscous fluid under zero body force, show that p is a harmonic function. Deduce that ψ defined by (10.14.19) is a biharmonic function in this case.
\textbf{v}=\psi_{,2}\textbf{e}_{1}-\psi_{,1}\textbf{e}_{2} (10.14.19)
