Using the mapping w → z+1/z, you get something that looks remarkably like an #aerofoil.
It is a #ConformalMapping meaning that angles are preserved during the mapping. In this animation, I’ve varied the imaginary part of the the eccentricity, while keeping the real part the same. With a zero #AngleOfAttack, you can see the change in the airflow around the #wing as its shape changes.
