    In this paper, the integrability of the equations of a system of three vortex sources is shown. A reduced system describing, up to similarity, the evolution of the system’s configurations is obtained. Possible phase portraits and various relative equilibria of the system are presented.
    Keywords: integrability, vortex sources, shape sphere, reduction, homothetic configurations
