Abstract
When fluid is pumped from an elevated source it flows downward and then outward once it hits the base. In this paper we consider a simple two dimensional model of flow from a single line source elevated above a horizontal base and consider its downward flow into a spreading layer on the bottom. A hodograph solution and linear solutions are obtained for high flow rates and full nonlinear solutions are obtained over a range of parameter space. It is found that there is a minimum flow rate beneath which no steady solutions exist. Overhanging surfaces are found for a range of parameter values. This flow serves as a model for a two-dimensional water fountain, or approximates a similar flow in a density stratified environment.
