In the impermeable strip , , a line source of strength at an interior point has the displayed complex potential of a two-dimensional potential flow, with locally consistent complex logarithm and . The hyperbolic-cosine map of a half-strip sends the walls to the real axis. An equal image line source at makes that axis a streamline. Since , the local singular part remains , proving preservation of strength. With no extra imposed flow, the complex velocity tends to as , so the outgoing volume flux is . The source position has positive imaginary part; assuming it real would place it on a wall.
