Hamiltonian description of vortex systems

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In the framework of 2D ideal Hydrodynamics a vortex system is defined as a smooth vorticity function having few positive local maxima and negative local minima separated by curves of zero vorticity. Invariants of such structures are discussed following from the vorticity conservation law and invertibility of Lagrangian motion. Hamiltonian formalism for vortex systems is developed by introducing new functional variables diagonalizing the original non-canonical Poisson bracket.
