Geometric intuition for harmonic conjugate functions

129 Views Asked by At

It is known that given a harmonic function $u$ of class $C ^ {2}$ defined in a simply connected subset of $\mathbb{C}$ , we can find a function $v$ also harmonic, such that $f = u + iv$, is a holomorphic function.

  • What does this definition mean geometrically?

  • Would there be applications of this in physics?

Comments or references, are very welcome!!

Contours of constant $u(x,y)$ and $v(x,y)$ will be crossing orthogonally. For example, the harmonic conjugate of $x$ is $y$.
