Abstract

Explicit equations are obtained to convert Cartesian coordinates to elliptic coordinates, based on which a function in elliptic coordinates can be readily mapped in physical space. Application to Kirchhoff vortex shows that its elliptical core induces two counter-rotating irrotational eddies.
