Vortices and vortexlayers are the fundamental vorticity structure in flow fields. The strengths of the vortices are then summed to find the total approximate circulation about the wing. Vortices form in stirred fluids, and may be observed in smoke rings, whirlpools in the wake of a boat, and the winds surrounding a tropical cyclone, tornado or dust devil vortices are a major component of turbulent flow. Vorticity is mathematically defined as the curl of the velocity field and is hence a measure of local rotation of the fluid.

Vortex dynamics is an interdisciplinary topic of interest in many areas of mathematical physics, with special importance in hydrodynamics. Although the vortex is ubiquitous in nature, its definition is somewhat ambiguous in the field of fluid dynamics. We define a vortex line in analogy to a streamline as a line in the fluid that at each point on the line the vorticity vector is tangent to the line, i. The vortex line just studied is, in reality, a very useful and productive approximation of a slightly more complex real vortex flow.
