The pressure distribution is obtained using Bernoulli's Equation applied on the surface and a point far upstream, which is given by:

where ρ is the density of the fluid and vs is the velocity on surface.
In order to apply the Bernoulli Equation the velocities at the surface was required. The velocities were found using the relation between the stream function and velocities given by:


Then the substitution r=R is made to obtain the velocity on the surface, this results in radial term becoming zero.
This velocity is then substituted back into the Bernoulli equation to obtain the pressure distribution.
The pressure distribution is obtained as a function of θ as:

Consider a circular cylinder of radius a whose central axis is stationary. The cylinder is surrounded by a fluid that is moving with a uniform steady velocity Uk far from the cylinder; the cylinder axis is in the z-direction The cylinder is also spinning on its axis with constant angular velocity, Ω2, where x, у and z are the usual Cartesian unit vectors We wish to model this 2D flow using an inviscid approximation.
