Kinematic and thermodynamic stability of vortices in superfluids

The equations of motion of vortices in an ideal two-dimensional fluid are derived, and the laws of conservation associated with the motion are discussed. Two regions of flow are considered, an infinite region and a region bounded on the outside by a circle. The kinetic energy and angular momentum of...
