Dynamics of a Strong Vortex Tube in a Uniform Shear Flow

Part of the book series: Fluid Mechanics and its Applications ((FMIA,volume 36))

Abstract

The time-evolution of a strong straight vortex tube in a uniform shear flow is studied analytically and numerically. A vortex filament of circulation Γ is set at an initial instant with it being inclined from the streamwise (X 1) direction both to the spanwise (X 3) and vertical (X 2) directions. The uniform vorticity of the shear flow is pointed to the negative X 3-direction. Hereafter, a vortex tube, whose spanwise vorticity component is negative (positive), is called a cyclonic (anti-cyclonic) vortex.
