Phase portraits and the bifurcation set for the three-vortex interaction system

We use Jacobi coordinates and a momentum map/Lie-Poisson reduction to derive a system of equations for the three-vortex problem with no coordinate singularities and use it to …

Transition to instability of the leapfrogging vortex quartet

We show via analytical perturbation theory that the leapfrogging vortex quartet becomes unstable exactly at the critical ratio $\alpha= \phi^{-2}.$

Stability of Leapfrogging Vortex Pairs: A Semi-analytic Approach featured image

Stability of Leapfrogging Vortex Pairs: A Semi-analytic Approach

We investigate the stability of a one-parameter family of periodic solutions of the four-vortex problem known as _leapfrogging_ orbits. These solutions, which consists of two pairs …
