This book presents and analyses vortex methods as a tool for the direct numerical simulation of incompressible viscous flows. Vortex methods have matured, offering an interesting alternative to finite difference and spectral methods for high-resolution numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Research in the numerical analysis aspects of vortex methods has provided a solid mathematical background for understanding the accuracy and stability of the method. At the same time vortex methods retain their appealing physical character that was the motivation for their introduction. Scientists working in the areas of numerical analysis and fluid mechanics will benefit from this book, which may serve both communities as both a reference monograph and a textbook for computational fluid dynamics courses.

This text promotes the interdisciplinary work between science and art - in the present volume specifically the interaction of fluid dynamics and video art. It suggests how both disciplines can profit from each other without loss of professionality in either field. Both disciplines are described in their own language. The contributions in fluid mechanics are from internationally well-known scientists, and the topics range from fractal laminar flows in the lung to astrophysical processes. Turbulence, vortex dynamics, bio-fluid dynamics as well as issues in magnetohydromechanics and topological fluid dynamics compete with more than a dozen artworks by known Dutch and Swiss video artists. The catalogue of the exhibition incorporated in the book illustrates how artistic creativity can profit from scientific results, and how scientists can learn from artists how to present their thoughts and ideas.

Some words about SCART 2000. SCART stands for science and art. SCART meetings are organized in a loose time sequence by an international group of scientists, most of them fluid-dynamicists. The first meeting was held in Hong-Kong, the second one in Berlin, and the third, and latest, one in Zurich. SCART meetings include a scientific conference and a number of art events. The intention is to restart a dialogue between scientists and artists which was so productive in the past. To achieve this goal several lectures given by scientists at the conference are intended for a broader public. In the proceedings they are denoted as SCART lectures. The artists in tum address the main theme of the conference with their contributions. The lectures at SCART 2000 covered the entire field of fluiddynamics, from laminar flows in biological systems to astrophysical events, such as the explosion of a neutron star. The main exhibition by Dutch and Swiss artists showed video and related art under the title 'Walking on Air'. Experimental music was performed in two concerts.
