Velocity potential : ウィキペディア英語版
Velocity potential

A velocity potential is a scalar potential used in potential flow theory. It was introduced by Joseph-Louis Lagrange in 1788.
It is used in continuum mechanics, when a continuum occupies a simply-connected region and is irrotational. In such a case,
: \nabla \times \mathbf =0,
where \mathbf denotes the flow velocity. As a result, \mathbf can be represented as the gradient of a scalar function \Phi\;:
: \mathbf = \nabla \Phi\ = \frac \mathbf +
\frac \mathbf +
\frac \mathbf .
\Phi\; is known as a velocity potential for \mathbf.
A velocity potential is not unique. If a\; is a constant, or a function solely of the temporal variable, then \Phi+a(t)\; is also a velocity potential for \mathbf\;. Conversely, if \Psi\; is a velocity potential for \mathbf\; then \Psi=\Phi+b\; for some constant, or a function solely of the temporal variable b(t)\;. In other words, velocity potentials are unique up to a constant, or a function solely of the temporal variable.
If a velocity potential satisfies Laplace equation, the flow is incompressible ; one can check this statement by, for instance, developing \nabla \times (\nabla \times \mathbf) and using, thanks to the Clairaut-Schwarz's theorem, the commutation between the gradient and the laplacian operators.
Unlike a stream function, a velocity potential can exist in three-dimensional flow.
==Usage in acoustics==

In theoretical acoustics, it is often desirable to work with the acoustic wave equation of the velocity potential \Phi\; instead of pressure p\; and/or particle velocity \mathbf\;.
: \nabla ^2 \Phi - = 0
Solving the wave equation for either p\; field or \mathbf\; field doesn't necessarily provide a simple answer for the other field. On the other hand, when \Phi\; is solved for, not only is \mathbf\; found as given above, but p\; is also easily found – from the (linearised) Bernoulli equation for irrotational and unsteady flow – as
: p = -\rho \Phi .
