This paper addresses the problem of the plane-parallel motion of an elliptic foil with an attached point
vortex of constant strength in an ideal fluid. It is assumed that the position of the vortex relative to the foil
remains unchanged during motion. The flow of the fluid outside the body is assumed to be potential (except
for the singularity corresponding to a point vortex), and the flow around the body is noncirculatory. Special
attention is given to the general position case in which the point vortex does not lie on the continuations of the
semiaxes of the ellipse. The problem under consideration is described by a system of six first-order differential
equations. After reduction by the motion group of the plane $E(2)$ it reduces to a system of three differential
equations. An analysis of this reduced system is made. It is shown that this system admits one to five fixed
points which correspond to motions of the ellipse in various circles. By numerically investigating the phase flow
of the reduced system near fixed points, it is shown that, in the general case, the system admits no invariant
measure with a smooth positive definite density. Parameter values are found for which one of the fixed points of
the reduced system is an unstable node-focus. It is shown that, as the variation of the parameters is continued,
an unstable limit cycle can arise from an unstable fixed point via an Andronov –Hopf bifurcation. An analysis
is made of bifurcations of this limit cycle for the case where the position of the point vortex relative to the
ellipse changes. By constructing a parametric bifurcation diagram, it is shown that, as the system’s parameters
are varied, the limit cycle undergoes a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations, giving rise to a chaotic repeller
(a reversed-time attractor). To carry out a numerical analysis of the problem, the method of constructing a twodimensional
Poincaré map is used. The search for and analysis of simple and strange repellers were performed
backward in time.
