The interaction of a line vortex with a collinearly aligned jet is a prototypical configuration for
various important applications in aeronautics. The purpose of this study is to analyze the
impact of the jet flow on the kinematics and dynamics of a trailing vortex. A particular
emphasis is on the effect of a variable relative jet–vortex spacing. To this end, we realized
four different jet–vortex configurations in a wind tunnel experiment at a chord-based
Reynolds number of 1.7× 10 5 using high-speed stereo particle image velocimetry …
