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:

“Women born at the turn of the century have been conditioned not to speak openly of their wedding nights. Of other nights in bed with other men they speak not at all. Today a woman having bedded with a great general feels free to tell us that in bed the general could not present arms. Women of my generation would have spared the great general the revelation of this failure.”
—Jessamyn West (1907–1984)

“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
