A new canonical reduction of three-vortex motion and its application to vortex-dipole scattering
A new canonical reduction of three-vortex motion and its application to vortex-dipole scattering

We use Jacobi coordinates and Nambu brackets to derive a new representation of the motion of three vortices which, unlinke all previous reductions, introduces no singularities into the system. We use this to study the scattering of dipoles by stationary vortices.
