Chaos and dynamics of vortices in Josephson junction arrays

The approach to spatiotemporal chaos in two-dimensional (2D) Josephson junction arrays (JJAs) subjected to DC current drives is reviewed. The role of vortices in describing the various transitions and types of dynamical behaviour that occur is explored. Some analogies with hydrodynamics are found.
