Abstract
This paper is a review on the dynamics of vortices in fluids which get involved in aircraft wakes. Basic notions useful to appraise their dynamics are: inertial waves, 3D instabilities due to vortex interaction, vortex merging, vortex breakdown and turbulence. Each one of these topics is illustrated by means of experimental or numerical results.
