Abstract: In the present paper problem of vortex images in annular domain between two coaxial cylinders is solved by the q-elementary functions. We show that all images are determined completely as poles of the q-logarithmic function, where dimensionless parameter q=r22/r12 is given by square ratio of the cylinder radii. Resulting solution for the complex potential is represented in terms of the Jackson q-exponential function. By composing pairs of q-exponents to the first Jacobi theta function and conformal mapping to a rectangular domain we link our solution with result of Johnson and McDonald. We found that one vortex cannot remain at rest except at the geometric mean distance, but must orbit the cylinders with constant angular velocity related to q-harmonic series. Vortex images in two particular geometries in the qoinfty limit are studied.
