@Euler: I think this is more specific. None of the answers in that thread give physical interpretations. — Qiaochu Yuan, Aug 29 '12 at 05:31

I would suggest Chapter 9 of Cohen's book Conformal Mapping on Riemann Surfaces, where he relates existence theorems of Harmonic Differentials and the Cauchy-Riemann Equations to the study of Electrostatics and Hydrodynamics.
