Required Boundary Conditions
The velocity potential on the internal surface and all points inside V (or on the lower surface S) is 0.
The Doublet Strength is:
The velocity potential on the outer surface is normal to the surface and is equal to the freestream velocity.
These basic equations are satisfied when the geometry is a 'watertight' geometry. If it is watertight, it is a well-posed problem. If it is not, it is an ill-posed problem.

Famous quotes containing the words boundary conditions, required, boundary and/or conditions:
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“There lies at the back of every creed something terrible and hard for which the worshipper may one day be required to suffer.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“The boundary line between self and external world bears no relation to reality; the distinction between ego and world is made by spitting out part of the inside, and swallowing in part of the outside.”
—Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)
“Brutus had rather be a villager
Than to repute himself a son of Rome
Under these hard conditions as this time
Is like to lay upon us.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
