Potential Fields in Fluid Mechanics: A Review of Two Classical Approaches and Related Recent Advances

The use of potential fields in fluid dynamics is retraced, ranging from classical potential theory to recent developments in this evergreen research field. The focus is centred on two major approaches and their advancements: (i) the Clebsch transformation and (ii) the classical complex variable meth...
