when the axes are turned through 45°.

33. Example 3.—Analysing in this way the rotation of a rectangle filled with liquid into the two components of shear, the stream function ψ1 is to be made to satisfy the conditions

(i.) ∇2ψ1 = 0, (ii.) ψ1 + ½Rx2 = ½Ra2, or ψ1 = 0 when x = ±a, (iii.) ψ1 + ½Rx2 = ½Ra2, ψ1 = ½R (a2 − x2), when y = ± b.

Expanded in a Fourier series,

a2 − x2 = 32a2 Σ cos (2n + 1) ½ πx/a,
π3 (2n + 1)3

so that

ψ1 = R 16a2 Σ cos (2n + 1) ½πx/a · ch (2n + 1) ½πy/a),
π3 (2n + 1)3 · ch (2n + 1) ½πb/a
w1 = φ1 + ψ1i = iR 16a2 Σ cos (2n + 1) ½πz/a,
π3 (2n + 1)3 ch (2n + 1) ½πb/a
