Write down the function ψ(u,v) that satisfies
∂u2∂2ψ+∂v2∂2ψ=0,ψ(−21,v)=−1,ψ(21,v)=1
The circular arcs C1 and C2 in the complex z-plane are defined by
∣z+1∣=1,z=0 and ∣z−1∣=1,z=0,
respectively. You may assume without proof that the mapping from the complex z-plane to the complex ζ-plane defined by
ζ=z1
takes C1 to the line u=−21 and C2 to the line u=21, where ζ=u+iv, and that the region D in the z-plane exterior to both the circles ∣z+1∣=1 and ∣z−1∣=1 maps to the region in the ζ-plane given by −21<u<21.
Use the above mapping to solve the problem
∇2ϕ=0 in D,ϕ=−1 on C1 and ϕ=1 on C2
