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.
Burgers vortex layer or Burgers vortex sheet is a strained shear layer, which is a two-dimensional analogue of Burgers vortex. This is also an exact solution of the Navier–Stokes equations, first described by Albert A. Townsend in 1951. [ 8 ]
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 .
A vortex tube is the surface in the continuum formed by all vortex lines passing through a given (reducible) closed curve in the continuum. The 'strength' of a vortex tube (also called vortex flux ) [ 10 ] is the integral of the vorticity across a cross-section of the tube, and is the same everywhere along the tube (because vorticity has zero ...
In fluid dynamics, vortex stretching is the lengthening of vortices in three-dimensional fluid flow, associated with a corresponding increase of the component of vorticity in the stretching direction—due to the conservation of angular momentum. [1] Vortex stretching is associated with a particular term in the vorticity equation. For example ...
The Lambda2 method, or Lambda2 vortex criterion, is a vortex core line detection algorithm that can adequately identify vortices from a three-dimensional fluid velocity field. [1] The Lambda2 method is Galilean invariant , which means it produces the same results when a uniform velocity field is added to the existing velocity field or when the ...
The first source term on the right hand side represents vortex stretching. The equation is valid in the absence of any concentrated torques and line forces for a compressible , Newtonian fluid . In the case of incompressible flow (i.e., low Mach number ) and isotropic fluids, with conservative body forces, the equation simplifies to the ...
Vortices are points in 2D fields and lines in 3D fields (as they have codimension two). Integrating the phase of the field around a path enclosing a vortex yields an integer multiple of 2 π. This integer is known as the topological charge, or strength, of the vortex. A hypergeometric-Gaussian mode (HyGG) has an optical vortex in its center ...
