The problem of the diffusion of two counter‐rotating vortices of equal strength is studied numerically and analytically. Asymptotic expansions are derived for the limiting behavior of the solution for small times, for small Reynolds numbers, and for large times. The results are used to more fully understand the drift and decay of the vortex system. Thus it is shown that different measures for the position of the vortex system used by previous authors may give significantly different values for the drift velocity of the vortices. The expansion for small Reynolds number shows that these differences remain even in the Stokes limit Re→0, in which the vorticity system becomes symmetric about the line connecting the vortex centers. But surprisingly, the large time expansion shows that for large times all drift velocities become identical. Moreover, this universal velocity is different from the average velocity in each half plane although it equals the velocity of the centers of vorticity of those planes. The sm...
