Steady flows of incompressible, nonviscous fluids

We want to first understand the behavior of some simple fluid flows. To begin with, we'll assume that the fluid is incompressible, which is not a particularly restrictive condition, and has zero viscosity (i.e., we consider nonviscousnonviscous fluids), which is a restrictive condition.
