| φ = ½ Ux | A | , ψ = − ½ Uy2 | B | ; |

so that in the relative motion past the body, as when fixed in the current U parallel to xO,
| φ′ = ½Ux ( 1 + | A | ), ψ′ = ½Uy2 ( 1 − | B | ). |

Changing the origin from the centre to the focus of a prolate spheroid, then putting b2 = pa, λ = λ′a, and proceeding to the limit where a = ∞, we find for a paraboloid of revolution
| B = ½ | p | , | B | = | p | , |
| p + λ′ | B0 | p + λ′ |

| y2 | = p + λ′ − 2x, |
