Abstract

The Monte Carlo simulation of N point vortices with square periodic boundary conditions is performed where N is order of 100. The clustering property is examined by computing the L function familiar in the field of spatial ecology. The case of a positive value of L corresponds to the state of clustering and the Onsager's negative temperature.
