Abstract
It is shown that vortices and dislocations can be treated as virtually identical from both a physical and mathematical perspective. This allows the lowest-energy configurations of such defects to be predicted. In particular, it is suggested that, similar to the way in which a dislocation cell structure forms at high deformations, an analogous vortex cell structure is generated at high fluid velocities. In addition, both arrangements are believed to underlie the concept of turbulence.
