Assume that fluid is incompressible and inviscid and that flow is steady, irrotational and in x,y plane. Develop (or just write down) an equation for distribution of coefficient of pressure, Cp, on the surface of a circular cylinder of a radius R rotation steadily around its axis at angular speed (omega), while exposed to a uniform horizontal free stream of intensity U.
Hint: Such a potential flow can be created by a linear combination of a uniform stream, a point dipole and a point vortex collocated at the origin
