Abstract
A fundamental property of two-dimensional flows is the ability to support the existence of longlived, isolated vortical structures. Vortices in the form of monopoles, dipoles and tripoles are often encountered, e. g. in the atmosphere and oceans of large planets as well as in laboratory experiments. Such propagating structures may trap particles and convect them over distances much larger than their scale size. The understanding of their dynamical behaviour is therefore of great importance for comprehending transport mechanisms.
