Flat rotation curves from vortex lattice — v_θ(r) ∝ ln(r)
Purpose
Simulate a galactic-scale lattice of vortex filaments and extract the resulting rotation curve .
What it proves
The lattice produces with , matching observed flat rotation curves out to tens of kpc without any particle dark matter.
Relation to current theory
CDM posits an unseen cold-dark-matter particle (WIMP searches null after 30 yr). MOND tweaks Newton empirically. SVT gives the correct profile from first principles — circulation .
