Vortex dynamics simulations reveal reconnection, an important property linked with creation of turbulence cascade, fluid mixing, and aerodynamic noise generation. Turbulent pipe flow simulated at high ...

The study of vortex dynamics in fluid mechanics is critical for both advancing aeronautical design and minimising flow-induced hazards. At its core, vortex dynamics examines the formation, evolution, ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...

Vortex tubes are a key ingredient of turbulence, which is widely studied in classical physics. The motion of vortex tubes is relevant in a wide range of scenarios, such as the formation of hurricanes, ...

A team of researchers affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough by mathematically proving that a special type of vortex pair, called the Sadovskii vortex patch, can exist within ideal ...

Mathematicians call the shape of a doughnut a 'toroid'. Physicists call a swirling fluid a 'vortex'. A toroidal vortex, then, is a swirling doughnut of fluid. This video from the Sleek Geeks archive ...

Liquid helium-4, which is in a superfluid state at cryogenic temperatures close to absolute zero (-273°C), has a special vortex called a quantized vortex that originates from quantum mechanical ...

AbstractThe Sadovskii vortex patch is a traveling wave for the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations consisting of an odd symmetric pair of ...

Knots are not just for shoelaces and sailing lines. In the last decade, physicists have shown that swirling liquids can ...
