This animation shows the interaction of two point vortices (small red dots with red and cyan traces) of strenths 2 and -1, respectively, with a slightly elliptic rigid body moving freely in an unbounded 2D ideal fluid.

Also shown is a small blob of passively advected fluid particles colored black for visualization. The chaotic nature of the system is apparent from the traces of the vortices, body and particles.
