Abstract

Plane unsteady potential flows of an ideal incompressible fluid with a free boundary are considered in the absence of external forces and surface tension. Examples of exact solutions in situations where the entire boundary of the domain occupied by the fluid is completely free are constructed. There may be polar singularities of the complex velocity function inside the fluid, which corresponds to the presence of a source or a sink there.
