Abstract: Exact solutions are obtained for a number of two-dimensional problems of steady-state fluid flow to a lateral hole in a reservoir with a quiescent bottom fluid of higher density or with a fluid of lower density at the reservoir top.

Keywords: lateral well, filtration velocity hodograph, mapping parameters, interface, critical flow regime.
