AbstractSteady two-dimensional fluid flow over an obstacle is solved using complex variable methods. We consider the cases of rectangular obstacles, such as large boulders, submerged in a potential flow. These may arise in geophysics, marine and civil engineering. Our models are applicable to initiation of motion that may result in subsequent transport. The local flow depends on the obstacle shape, slowing down in confining corners and speeding up in expanding corners. The flow generates hydrodynamic forces, drag and lift, and their associated moments, which differ around each face. Our model replaces the need for ill-defined drag and lift coefficients with geometry-dependent functions. We predict smaller flow velocities to initiate motion. We show how a joint-bound boulder can be transported against gravity, and analyse the influence of a wake region behind an isolated boulder.

Complex variable methods are used to obtain exact and closed expressions for Goursat's functions for the stretched infinite plate weakened by two inner holes which are free from stresses. The plate considered is conformally mapped on the area of the right half-plane. Previous work is considered as special cases of this work. Cases of different shapes of holes are included. Also, many new cases are discussed using this mapping.
