The Stokes-Beltrami equations, being applicable to many classes of physical problems, have for a long time received a great deal of attention from authors investigating their various aspects. One may cite, for example, Weinstein [1] and more recently Ranger [2] as just two of many research papers into this topic. Baecklund transformations have, in previous work, been applied to hodograph-type equations (Loowrner ], Power, Rogers and Onborn [4], Rogers [5, 6]) and reduction to appropriate canonical forms in elliptic, parabolic, and hyprebolic regimes has been achieved.
