Abstract
We report the experimental dynamics of a new two-dimensional (2D) fluid phe
nomenon that occurs when an intense, pointlike vortex is placed within a di
ffuse, circular vortex. Our observations, made using strongly magnetized el
ectron columns to model the 2D fluid, support the analysis performed by Jin
and Dubin.
