Popis: It is proposed to consider plane or axisymmetric incompressible flows when at a certain point in space a finite source of momentum is instantaneously created. This type of flow is characterized by the continuous setting in motion of new volumes of fluid with a simultaneous decrease in velocity. It is usual to associate this diffusional process with viscosity [1]. Here it is shown, that such processes can be described within the framework of an ideal fluid. The main concern is to prove the existence of four-parameter plane ideal-fluid flow. The method of constructing the solution is based on the conformal transformation of the dimensionless variable, so that from the relatively simple self-similar solution the unknown flow can be obtained. It is shown that this method can be applied to other problems. The results obtained are compared with the well-known [2] solution of the linearized dipole diffusion problem for the plane motion of a viscous fluid and with certain generalizations of that solution.
