摘要
A general equation of motion describing the propagation of dipole vortices in a weakly inhomogeneous medium is derived. The solution of this equation agrees well with previously published numerical simulations. The contribution of dipole vortices to passive transport in the direction of the external inhomogeneity is then estimated. Since they can make large, oscillatory excursions in this direction (in contrast to monopole vortices), their contribution can be quite significant. © 1990 American Institute of Physics.
