Consider the flow over an oval modeled using the elementary potential flows as shown below. U represents uniform flow velocity and Γ represents circulation around an irrotational line vortex.
Which of the following statements is/are TRUE for this model?
A
Increasing U enlarges the oval
B
Increasing Γ enlarges the oval
C
Interchanging the sense of the two vortices does not alter the oval
D
Moving the vortices too far apart causes the oval to break up

Correct : a,b,c
