The flow w at z1 has a core<br />

with a largge<br />

value <strong>of</strong> noormalized<br />

The vorticiity<br />

seems to havve<br />

a Gauss sian like pr<strong>of</strong>i ile. The vortexx<br />

core region has high vortticity<br />

with steeep<br />

only at large radiial<br />

distance es from the vortex<br />

core. Thhe<br />

irregularityy<br />

in the pr<strong>of</strong>ille<br />
