We derive analytic solutions for an infinite set of partially coherent vortex beams (PCVBs) of any azimuthal order and for any propagation distance. The correlation singularities of the beams and their orbital angular momentum are investigated. This detailed study of PCVBs opens the possibility of using such beams for remote sensing and free-space optical communications.
