We present an efficient spectral method for studies of fundamental vortex d
ynamics in forced, circular shear flows. The numerical results are compared
with results from experiments carried out in rotating flows with both plan
ar and parabolic geometries, Due to the high accuracy of the code, it can b
e determined whether a two-dimensional model is sufficient to describe the
experimental results. (C) 2000 IMACS. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. Al
