Synopsis

This book offers an exact solution to the potential flow through a conical pipe, providing a solid foundation for further research in various disciplines. The solution has direct applications in diffraction theory, particularly in understanding the far field of sound waves arising from excitation within the conical pipe. The author's approach, while rooted in classical potential theory, is novel and characterized by the construction of integral representations of the solution using a variant of the Wiener-Hopf procedure. These representations are then used to obtain eigenfunction expansions of the potential, leading to explicit expressions for the conductivity of the conical pipe's opening. The behavior of the velocity of the fluid near the circular edge of the conical pipe is also determined, and the uniqueness of the solution is proven using the Rayleigh static method. The book's significance lies in its rigorous treatment of the problem, providing a framework for future investigations in fluid dynamics and acoustics.
