Fluid of uniform vorticity is expelled from a line source against a wall. An exact analytical solution is obtained for the nonlinear problem determining the final steady state. Sufficiently close to the source, the flow is irrotational and isotropic, turning on the vortical scale Q∕ω (for area flux Q and vorticity ω) to travel along the wall to the right (for ω>0). The flow is linearly stable with perturbations propagating unattenuated along the interface between vortical and irrotational fluid. Fully nonlinear numerical integrations of the time-dependent equations of motion show that flow started from rest does indeed closely approach the steady state. Similar exact steady solutions are obtained for a vortical source-sink pair and vortical source doublet against a wall. Time-dependent integrations show that the steady state is unchanged at arbitrarily large times for sufficiently small disturbances but is disrupted by finite perturbations.
