Abstract
A framework is developed based on the concepts of divorticity B (≡ ∇ × ω, ω being the vorticity) and dihelicity g(≡ v ṡ B) for discussing the theoretical structure underlying two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamics. This formulation leads to the global and Lagrange invariants that could impose significant constraints on the evolution of divorticity lines in 2D hydrodynamics.
