April 9, 2011, 18:49	centre of a vortex	#1
archer New Member Join Date: Apr 2011 Posts: 5 Rep Power: 15	Dear All, Could anyone advise me as to how I can find the centre of a vortex from my streamfunction? I have computed the streamfunction and I know the locations of its maximum value but I don't know how to proceed from here as the vortex is not a nice shape (unless I assume it collapses to a circle around its centre...?) Thank you for your attention.
