This theorem describes planar fluid flow around a circle. If w = f(z) is the complex potential of a flow, with all its singularities satisfying |z| > a, then———
is the complex potential of a flow with the same singularities as f(z) outside |z| > a and which has |z| = a as a streamline. This is essentially applying the method of images to a circular boundary as is the inverse point of z.
