4.4 Summary

To summarize this chapter, we obtained the redistribution equations to diffuse the vortices. Those equations depend only on the positions of the vortices in the neighborhood of the vortex to be diffused. Hence, to diffuse a vortex all we need to do is identify the neighboring vortices and then solve the redistribution equations; the significant advantage of this procedure is that it is mesh-free and independent of the distribution of the vortices. However, we still need to establish the convergence of our procedure; we will consider that in the next chapter.
