Computational vortex dynamics in two and three dimensions

A discussion of some solutions and outstanding problems of dissipationless and nearly dissipationless flows in two and three dimensions is presented. In particular, two-dimensional steady-state solutions, linear stability and nonlinear evolutions including axisymmetrization of isolated vortex regions and merger or condensation of like-signed vorticity regions, are reviewed. These results are obtained from pseudo-spectral codes, contour dynamical (CD) codes and a new Hamiltonian moment-model of the Euler equations
