Abstract

We calculate the flow induced by a vortex pair in a viscous fluid, which is otherwise at rest, in the presence of a plane boundary. This may be either a no-slip or a stress-free boundary. The phenomenon of rebound of the vortices from the boundary occurs for either type of boundary, and an explanation for this is offered in terms of viscous effects.
