Refutation of stability proofs for dipole vortices

J. Nycander

Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

Five stability proofs for dipole vortices (modons) that have been presented by various authors are examined. It is shown that they are all incorrect, and that westward-propagating dipoles are in fact unstable, in contradiction to some of the proofs.
