Abstract

We study the passive particle transport generated by a circular vortex path in a 2D ideal flow confined in a circular domain. Taking the strength and angular velocity of the vortex path as main parameters, the bifurcation scheme of relative equilibria is identified. For a perturbed path, an infinite number of orbits around the centers are persistent, giving rise to periodic solutions with zero winding number.
