A general review of the current research in vortex dynamics is presented, based on contributions given during a workshop held in May 2003 at Porquerolles, France. This article aims at providing a picture of the work performed on this subject in the French community. Various cases are covered, from 2D vortex patches to 3D vortex tubes; from isolated vortices to shear flows. Different contexts are considered: pure Euler and Navier–Stokes flows as well as stratified, rotating and magnetic flows. To cite this article: I. Delbende et al., C. R. Mecanique 332 (2004).
