In this paper two dimensional free vorticity dynamics is studied using two different particle methods. The first one is a Diffused Vortex Hydrodynamics (DVH) and the second one is a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. These two methods present some similarities linked to their meshless nature but they are based on different numerical approaches. In this work advantages and drawbacks are highlighted by testing the particle methods on selected test-cases and by performing heuristic convergence measurements. The DVH method discussed in this work is characterized by the use of a regular distribution of points to perform the vorticity diffusion process. This redistribution avoids excessive clustering or rarefaction of the vortex particles providing robustness and high accuracy of the method.
