When this is integrated with respect to <£, the second part disappears, and we are left with 7r2*simply, so that the principal term (43) is 47r2. That this should turn out independent of b, that is the same at all points of the aperture, is only what was to be expected from the known theory respecting the motion of an incompressible fluid.
The term in d, corresponding to the constant part of 2 (in)-S(oufc), is represented by
Here d dd d(f> is merely the polar element of area, and the integral is, of course, independent of b. To find its value we may take the centre G as the pole of d. We get at once

For the third part (in d2), we write
d2 = - (ft2 - b2 - 2b9 cos cj)-d*}- Zb cos <l>(d+b cos 0) + a2 - 62 + 26s cos2 <£, giving rise to three integrals in d, of which the first is cos <f) — d2}
