Line momentum source in shallow inviscid fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, a line momentum source is simulated by an array of closely spaced, aligned, turbulent, incompressible jets, and the two resulting nonlinear singular integral equations are solved numerically using a Newton-Raphson-type iterative collocation method.
