Stream function
text:
In fluid dynamics, two types of stream function are defined: The two-dimensional stream function, introduced by Joseph Louis Lagrange in 1781, is defined for incompressible (divergence-free), two-dimensional flows.
The Stokes stream function, named after George Gabriel Stokes, is defined for incompressible, three-dimensional flows with axisymmetry. The properties of stream functions make them useful for analyzing and graphically illustrating flows. The remainder of this article describes the two
