Hodograph method : a method used essentially for the study of two-dimensional steady movements of a perfect fluid in which, instead of the coordinates(x, y) of the physical plane, the independent variables taken are the components mu and v of the velocity q with reference to these axes.... The method is applied to determinations of incompressible flow or of compressible flow. 3, record 4, English, - hodograph
