Vortex dynamics and zonal flows
Two-dimensional vortex dynamics have been studied in plasmas by exploiting the analogy between fluid velocity and the E×B drift velocity. The analogy extends to geophysical flows by including physics that mimic zonal flows, dissipation and the β-effect due to the variation in the Coriolis parameter....
