Collapse of n vortices

Fluid Dynamics 2015-12-17 v1

Abstract

Numerical approximations of finite systems of vortices in the plane, collapsing to a point in finite time are studied. A fast method leading to highly accurate approximations is presented. The method is illustrated with an example of an approximate collapsing system of seven vortices. Special attention is given to the behaviour of the system near critical time (close to the collapse).
