Abstract
The existence and dynamics of vortical structures in both homogeneous and inhomogeneous systems will be discussed. In particular the dynamic s of monopolar and dipolar vortices in a plasma with nonuniform densit y and in a rotating fluid with varying Coriolis force is described. Th e role of vortical structures in connection with electrostatic plasma turbulence and the associated cross-field plasma transport will also b e addressed.
