Abstract
After a general introduction to the vorton method, which is a vortex m ethod resembling the 2-D point-vortex method, a set of equations descr ibing dynamics of 3-D vortex singularities (vortons) is derived, avoid ing the inconsistency in the derivation of other vorton equations whic h have been applied. Though inviscid, numerical simulations show recon nection phenomena.
