Description

In this Letter, we have obtained motion equations for a wide class of one-dimensional singularities in 2D ideal hydrodynamics. The simplest of them, are well known as point vortices. More complicated singularities correspond to vorticity point dipoles. It has been proved that point multipoles of a higher order (quadrupoles and more) are not the exact solutions of two-dimensional ideal hydrodynamics. The motion equations for a system of interacting point vortices and point dipoles have been obtained. It is shown that these equations are Hamiltonian ones and have three motion integrals in involution. It means the complete integrability of two-particle system, which has a point vortex and a point dipole.
