Abstract

Using the solution to th contour integral of the complex logarithmic function ${\oint}_cIn(z-z_{0})dz$, the following definite integral, derived from the formula to calculate the forces exerted to n circular cylinder by the discrete vortices shed from it, has been evaluated (equation omitted)
