Theoretical and Experimental Study of the Decay of Isolated Vortices


Book Description

The report reviews the program in progress which is aimed at increasing an understanding of the decay of the trailing vortex systems behind aircraft. The program concerns a study of the effect of turbulent shear on the decay of a single vortex. The ultimate aim of the program is the development of a method by which the effects of turbulence, whether introduced initially in the center of a vortex or contained in the fluid in which the vortex is formed, could be calculated. The program consists of two parts. The first part is directed towards the development of analytical tools for the prediction of the effects of turbulence. The second part is an experimental program designed to obtain data against which the computational techniques may be checked. (Author).

Theory of Concentrated Vortices


Book Description

This book presents comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the wide field of concentrated vortices observed in nature and technique. The methods for research of their kinematics and dynamics are considered. Special attention is paid to the flows with helical symmetry. The authors have described models of vortex structures used for interpretation of experimental data which serve as a ground for development of theoretical and numerical approaches to vortex investigation.







Fluid Dynamics in Physics, Engineering and Environmental Applications


Book Description

The book contains invited lectures and selected contributions presented at the Enzo Levi and XVII Annual Meeting of the Fluid Dynamic Division of the Mexican Physical Society in 2011. It is aimed to fourth year undergraduate and graduate students, and scientists in the field of physics, engineering and chemistry that have interest in Fluid Dynamics from the experimental and theoretical point of view. The invited lectures are introductory and avoid the use of complicate mathematics. The other selected contributions are also adequate to fourth year undergraduate and graduate students. The Fluid Dynamics applications include multiphase flow, convection, diffusion, heat transfer, rheology, granular material, viscous flow, porous media flow, geophysics and astrophysics. The material contained in the book includes recent advances in experimental and theoretical fluid dynamics and is adequate for both teaching and research.
