Lectures on Topological Fluid Mechanics Lectures given at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Cetraro, Italy, July 2 - 10, 2001 /

Helmholtz's seminal paper on vortex motion (1858) marks the beginning of what is now called topological fluid mechanics.After 150 years of work, the field has grown considerably. In the last several decades unexpected developments have given topological fluid mechanics new impetus, benefiting f...
