Abstract

Vortex element schemes are designed for application to flows with highly concentrated vorticity. These schemes are based on discretization of the vorticity field into spherically smoothed Lagrangian elements of overlapping cores, and transport of these elements along particle trajectories. The advantages of this approach stem from the Lagrangian discretization which naturally concentrates computational elements into regions of high vorticity, and from the Lagrangian transport procedure which minimizes numerical diffusion.
