Abstract

Finite-area monopolar vortices which propagate around topography without change in shape are computed for circular seamounts and wells including the limiting cases of each: islands and infinitely-deep wells. The time-dependent behaviour of vortex pairs propagating toward circular topography is also examined. Trajectories of pointvortex pairs exterior to the topography are found and compared to trajectories of vortex patches computed using contour dynamics.
