  2. Lamb–Oseen vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb–Oseen_vortex

    In fluid dynamics, the Lamb–Oseen vortex models a line vortex that decays due to viscosity. This vortex is named after Horace Lamb and Carl Wilhelm Oseen. [1] [2] Vector plot of the Lamb–Oseen vortex velocity field. Evolution of a Lamb–Oseen vortex in air in real time. Free-floating test particles reveal the velocity and vorticity pattern.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid_separator

    A typical vapor–liquid separator including commonly a de-entrainment pad and sometimes an inlet distributor Alloy 20 mesh or demister pad used in sulfuric acid production. In chemical engineering, a vapor–liquid separator is a device used to separate a vapor–liquid mixture into its constituent phases. It can be a vertical or horizontal ...

  6. Rankine vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_vortex

    The Rankine vortex is a simple mathematical model of a vortex in a viscous fluid. It is named after its discoverer, William John Macquorn Rankine. The vortices observed in nature are usually modelled with an irrotational (potential or free) vortex. However, in a potential vortex, the velocity becomes infinite at the vortex center.

  7. Vortex lattice method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_lattice_method

    The Vortex lattice method, (VLM), is a numerical method used in computational fluid dynamics, mainly in the early stages of aircraft design and in aerodynamic education at university level. The VLM models the lifting surfaces, such as a wing , of an aircraft as an infinitely thin sheet of discrete vortices to compute lift and induced drag .

  8. Strength tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_tester

    Strength tester may refer to: Grippers , a device used for testing and increasing the strength of the hands High striker , a attraction that operates by utilizing the lever where one end holds a puck attached to the tower and the other end is struck by the person or contestant using a hammer or mallet

  9. Vortex sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_sheet

    Continuous vortex sheet approximation by panel method. Roll-up of a vortex sheet due to an initial sinusoidal perturbation. Note that the integral in the above equation is a Cauchy principal value integral. The initial condition for a flat vortex sheet with constant strength is (,) =. The flat vortex sheet is an equilibrium solution.
