Abstract: In terms of Cauchy's integral formula of analytical complex function and the three order spline function of complex variable, a general boundary solution method is presented for solving the complex potential field of the flow field around a 2D semi infinite body. The pressure coefficient distribution on the cylinder surface by the present method is in good agreement with Acrivous' result for the flow problem around a circular cylinder.

Key words: potential flow, semi-infinite body, boundary element method, spline approximation
