| Zusammenfassung |
| Application of the Brown-Samelson theorem, which shows that particle motion is integrable in a class of
vorticity-conserving, two-dimensional incompressible flows, is extended here to a class of
explicit time dependent dynamically balanced flows in multilayered systems. Particle
motion for nonsteady two-dimensional flows with discontinuities in the vorticity or
potential vorticity fields (modon solutions) is shown to be integrable. An example of a
two-layer modon solution constrained by observations of a Gulf Stream ring system is
discussed. |
