The paper discusses the steady disturbance velocity field induced by a concentrated force acting at a fixed point of space in a parallel flow of an inviscid and incompressible fluid. Force and parallel flow have the same direction. The induced velocity field, its pressure field and its acceleration field are described by means of generalized functions (distributions).
