A row of counter-rotating vortices.
(English)
[J] Phys. Fluids, A 5, No.4, 1074-1075 (1993). ISSN 0899-8213

Summary: In 1967, {\it J. T. Stuart} [J. Fluid Mech. 29, 417-440 (1967; Zbl 0152.454)] found an exact nonliner solution of the inviscid, incompressible two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, representing an infinite row of identical vortices which are now known as Stuart vortices. In this paper, the corresponding result for an infinite row of counter-rotating vortices, i.e., a row of vortices of alternating sign, is presented. While for Stuart's solution, the streamfunction satisfied Liouville's equation, the streamfunction presented here satisfies the sinh-Gordon equation. The connection with Stuart's solution is discussed.
