Hi,

Stemming from the conservation of angular momentum, we associated the amplification/attenuation of vorticity with the stretching/compressing of a single vortex filament. But this conservative identity seems to me indicate nothing about the proliferation/conservation of the number of vortex filaments.

Let us consider a flow domain away from the boundary so that the vortex filaments are self-closed into vortex loops and let us assume the distribution of vortex loops are diluted without mutual interactions. Could anyone point me out whether the total number of such vortex loops is conserved in the flow domain?

Thanks in advance.
