Clustering of point vortices in a periodic box

Fluid Dynamics 2007-11-01 v1

Abstract

The Monte Carlo simulation of NN point vortices with square periodic boundary conditions is performed where NN is order of 100. The clustering property is examined by computing the LL function familiar in the field of spatial ecology. The case of a positive value of LL corresponds to the state of clustering and the Onsager's negative temperature.
