For most aerodynamic flows, the rotational components of the velocity vanish outside the boundary layer and the wake region. Therefore, the near and far velocity fields can be represented by a potential function and the pressure can be obtained there from Bernoullis law. In the viscous flow region, the momentum equations are integrated to cal- culate the rotational velocity components. Conservation of mass leads to a Poissons equation for the potential func- tion, where the right hand side, the forcing function, is given in terms of the divergence of the rotational velocity component. The latter represents a distribution of sources in the viscous layer and results in a displacement effect on the outside potential field. In this formulation, the pressure in the momentum equations does not play an essential role since the conservation of mass is imposed through the augmented potential equation. After the velocity field is obtained, the correct pressure distribution in the viscous flo
