Motion of a Vortex Blotch,

Abstract

We derive an equation for invariant curves in the motion of a vortex blotch. Kirchhoff's elliptical vortex is shown to satisfy the equation exactly. We also find that perturbations to a circular vortex are invariant configurations to the (third) order of approximation calculated.
