Dynamics of electron-plasma vortex in background vorticity distribution.
Dynamics of a point vortex in interaction with a broad profile of background vorticity is studied experimentally by using an electron plasma. The observed motion of the vortex compares favorably with a recently proposed theoretical model [D. A. Schecter and D. H. E. Dubin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 2191 (1999)]. Perturbations in the background distribution in the wake of the spiral orbit of the vort...
متن کاملPoint vortex dynamics within a background vorticity patch
Recent experiments and simulations have observed that the interaction of strong vortices with a low vorticity background can strongly affect the dynamics of both vortices and background. This paper considers an idealized model of this interaction. The background is treated as a patch of uniform vorticity with a nearly circular shape. The strong vortices are treated as point vortices, and their ...
متن کاملFormation of a vortex crystal cell assisted by a background vorticity distribution.
A vortex crystal is a quasistationary, symmetric array of intense vortices (clumps). A low level of background vorticity is experimentally observed to assist three clumps in forming an equilateral triangle starting from initial positions on a linear array. The triangle constitutes a unit cell of a crystal in a many-vortex system. The background vortex curbs the orbital motion of the clumps with...
متن کاملVortex Motion Driven by a Background Vorticity Gradient
The motion of self-trapped vortices on a background vorticity gradient is examined numerically and analytically. The vortices act to level the local background vorticity gradient. Conservation of momentum dictates that positive vortices (“clumps”) and negative vortices (“holes”) react oppositely: clumps move up the gradient, whereas holes move down the gradient. A linear analysis gives the traj...
متن کاملThe Role of Vorticity Dynamics in Vortex Breakdown
1 Abstract The role of vorticity dynamics in vortex breakdown is examined in a theoretical and computational study. Under the assumptions of steady, incompressible, axisymmetric, invis-cid ow, a theory is developed concerning the interaction of vortex tilting and stretching in the breakdown process. This analytic theory is then connrmed using an unsteady, incompressible, axisymmetric viscous ow...
