Strain-rate development between a co-rotating Lamb-Oseen vortex pair of unequal strength
نویسندگان
چکیده
To date, several investigations have considered the prospect of enhanced dissipation of a vortex pair due to elliptic (short wave) instabilities. Recent studies indicate that these modes have the potential to significantly reduce the time taken to dissipate vortex pairs. This has generated interest in the aviation industry, where aircraft trailing wakes pose a significant hazard for nearby aircraft.

On cooperative instabilities of parallel vortex pairs
We present a combined analytical and numerical study of the instabilities of a pair of parallel unequal-strength vortices. We extend the analyses of a vortex in an external strain field (Crow, AIAA J. vol. 8, 1970, p. 2172; Widnall et al., J. Fluid Mech. vol. 66, 1974, p. 35) to include the orbital motion of the vortex pair. For counter-rotating pairs, the classic Crow-type periodic displacemen...
متن کاملGlobal Existence and Long-Time Asymptotics for Rotating Fluids in a 3D Layer
The Navier-Stokes-Coriolis system is a simple model for rotating fluids, which allows to study the influence of the Coriolis force on the dynamics of three-dimensional flows. In this paper, we consider the NSC system in an infinite three-dimensional layer delimited by two horizontal planes, with periodic boundary conditions in the vertical direction. If the angular velocity parameter is suffici...
متن کاملOn the Existence of Two-Dimensional, Localized, Rotating, Self-Similar Vortical Structures
We prove that a Gaussian monopole, also known as the Lamb-Oseen vortex, is the only localized, rotating, self-similar solution to the two-dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations where level sets of vorticity and corotating streamfunction coincide. Our definition of self-similarity is restricted to the natural linear combination of space, time and viscous diffusion. We arrive at this...
متن کاملEffect of Stoichiometry and Strain Rate on Transient Flame Response
The interaction of a premixed methane/air flame with a counter-rotating vortex pair is analyzed using a parallel low-Mach-number computational model that is based on a detailed C1C2 chemical mechanism. Attention is focused on the transient response of the heat release rate and the flame structure at the centerline of the vortex pair. Results are obtained for vortex pairs of different strengths ...
متن کاملViscous evolution of point vortex equilibria: The collinear state
We describe the viscous evolution of a collinear three-vortex structure that corresponds initially to an inviscid point vortex fixed equilibrium, with the goal of elucidating some of the main transient dynamical features of the flow. Using a multi-Gaussian “core-growth” type of model, we show that the system immediately begins to rotate unsteadily, a mechanism we attribute to a “viscously induc...
