Joukowsky Transform - General Joukowsky Transform

General Joukowsky Transform

The Joukowsky transform of any complex number to is as follows

\begin{align} z &= x + iy =\zeta+\frac{1}{\zeta} \\ &= \chi + i \eta + \frac{1}{\chi + i \eta} \\ &= \chi + i \eta + \frac{(\chi - i \eta)}{\chi^2 + \eta^2} \\ &= \frac{\chi (\chi^2 + \eta^2 + 1)}{\chi^2 + \eta^2} + i\frac{\eta (\chi^2 + \eta^2 - 1)}{\chi^2 + \eta^2}. \end{align}

So the real (x) and imaginary (y) components are:

\begin{align} x &= \frac{\chi (\chi^2 + \eta^2 + 1)}{\chi^2 + \eta^2} \qquad \text{and} \\ y &= \frac{\eta (\chi^2 + \eta^2 - 1)}{\chi^2 + \eta^2}. \end{align}

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or transform:

    “If men would avoid that general language and general manner in which they strive to hide all that is peculiar and would say only what was uppermost in their own minds after their own individual manner, every man would be interesting.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Americans, unhappily, have the most remarkable ability to alchemize all bitter truths into an innocuous but piquant confection and to transform their moral contradictions, or public discussion of such contradictions, into a proud decoration, such as are given for heroism on the battle field.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)
