  1. The #Zhukovsky #Aerofoil (sometimes transliterated as #Joukowsky from #Russian), is a 2D model of #streamlined #Airflow past a #wing. It uses #ComplexVariable and is an #AnalyticFunction (i.e. #Differentiable everywhere, save at isolated #Singularities). Take a circle in the #ComplexPlane which is not quite centred at the #origin but passes through the #coordinate (1,0) or (z=1+0i).
