Abstract About 140 years ago, Lord Kelvin derived the equations describing waves that travel along the axis of concentrated vortices such as tornadoes. Although Kelvin's vortex …
The topology and the dynamics of Vogel–Escudier flow, which is the flow inside a circular cylinder with a top rotating lid, are presented in this paper. A three-dimensional direct …
This paper examines the effect of unstable thermal stratification on vortex breakdown in Vogel–Escudier flow. A three-dimensional direct numerical simulation of Navier–Stokes and …
Vortex Breakdown (VB) phenomena in swirling sudden expansion flows result in complex coherent structures, like a Precessing Vortex Core (PVC), and hysteretic behavior as a …
