    Abstract

    After a general introduction to the vorton method, which is a 3-D vortex particle method resembling the 2-D point-vortex method, a set of equations describing dynamics of 3-D vortex singularities (vortons) is derived, avoiding the inconsistency in the derivation of former vorton equations by Novikov and Kuwabara. Though inviscid, numerical simulations show reconnection phenomena. Current examples of vorton simulations are shown; they show at least qualitative agreement with results from other methods.
