Abstract
Given that vorticity is a core feature of fluid dynamics, it is somewhat surprising that the considerable extension of the latter into the compressible regime during the past half century has not included equally active investigations of compressible vortex flows. The very extensive fluid vortex literature contains only a miniscule percentage of publications dealing with compressible vortices. As implied by the discussion in §I.3.5, this circumstance is doubly curious in view of the additional challenging complexities in both the dynamics and energetics of vortex behavior introduced by the effects of compressibility.
