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:

    The nearest the modern general or admiral comes to a small-arms encounter of any sort is at a duck hunt in the company of corporation executives at the retreat of Continental Motors, Inc.
    C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)

    Bees plunder the flowers here and there, but afterward they make of them honey, which is all theirs; it is no longer thyme or marjoram. Even so with the pieces borrowed from others; one will transform and blend them to make a work that is all one’s own, that is, one’s judgement. Education, work, and study aim only at forming this.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
