When there is a superposition of a uniform flow with a doublet (Which is a source-sink pair of flows), a non-lifting flow over a circular cylinder can be analysed.

Stream function, \(\psi \) for a uniform flow is \[\psi  = \left( {{V_\infty }r\sin \theta } \right)\left( {1 – \frac{{{R^2}}}{{{r^2}}}} \right)\] velocity field is obtained by differentiating above equation\[{V_r} = \left( {1 – \frac{{{R^2}}}{{{r^2}}}} \right){V_\infty }\cos \theta \]\[\,{\rm{and}}\,{{\rm{V}}_\theta } =  – \left( {1 + \frac{{{R^2}}}{{{r^2}}}} \right){V_\infty }\sin \theta \]

Stagnation points can be obtained by equating \({V_r}\) and \({{\rm{V}}_\theta }\) to zero.Considering an incompressible and inviscid flow pressure coefficient over a circular cylinder is \[{C_p} = 1 – 4{\sin ^2}\theta \]
