Description

A normal mode analysis of perturbations on a stationary pattern formed by two-dimensional point vortices is carried out. The pattern is comprised of N equal vortices on a circle and one vortex of arbitrary strength in the center. The influence of an outer circular boundary is taken into account. The complete eigenfrequency spectrum is derived. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
