Vortex-in-cell simulations that numerically integrate the 2D Euler equations are compared directly to experiments on magnetized electron columns [K. S. Fine, A. C. Cass, W. G. Flynn, and C. F. Driscoll, “Relaxation of 2D turbulence to vortex crysta

A magnetically confined electron column evolves in (r, θ) as an essentially inviscid, incompressible 2D fluid with a single sign of vorticity. Turbulent initial states with 50–100 vortices relax due to vortex merger and filamentation, in general a

A simple model is presented of a finite length electron plasma column supporting a small amplitude diocotron wave with mode number m=1. The electrons are contained inside conducting cylinders in an axial magnetic field, with negative voltages on end

Freely decaying 2D turbulence in magnetized electron columns has been measured using a phosphor screen/CCD camera diagnostic. The relaxation towards axisymmetric equilibrium is hindered by medium-sized coherent vorticity holes which persist for hundr

We observe the ([ital r],[theta]) drift motion of two nearly identical magnetized electron columns bounded by a cylindrical wall. In the 2D [bold E][times][bold B] drift approximation, these columns are vortices evolving according to the Euler equati

A simple perturbation theory of the frequencies and density distortions of the l=1 diocotron mode on pure electron plasma columns is presented. This mode is the dynamical state of an off‐axis electron column which is orbiting around the containment

Magnetically confined columns of electrons are excellent experimental manifestations of two‐dimensional (2‐D) vortices in an inviscid fluid. Surface charge perturbations on the electron column (diocotron modes) are equivalent to surface ripples o

Magnetically confined electron columns evolve as near‐ideal 2D fluids, allowing quantitative study of instabilities, turbulence, relaxation, and self‐organization. We find that rapid global symmetrization of a distorted column can occur by a deca

Magnetically confined columns of electrons are excellent experimental realizations of extended two-dimensional vortices in an inviscid fluid. Here, we consider two nearly identical vortices orbiting around one another inside a cylindrical wall. The v
