Vorticity and Vortex Dynamics by Professor Jie-Zhi Wu, Professor Hui-Yang Ma, Professor

By Professor Jie-Zhi Wu, Professor Hui-Yang Ma, Professor Ming-De Zhou (auth.)

This publication is a accomplished and in depth monograph for scientists, engineers and utilized mathematicians, in addition to graduate scholars in fluid dynamics. It starts off with a quick assessment of basics of fluid dynamics, with an cutting edge emphasis at the intrinsic orthogonal decomposition of fluid dynamic method, through which one evidently identifies the content material and scope of vorticity and vortex dynamics. this can be by means of a close presentation of vorticity dynamics because the foundation of later improvement. In vortex dynamics half the e-book offers with the formation, movement, interplay, balance, and breakdown of varied vortices. usual vortex constructions are analyzed in laminar, transitional, and turbulent flows, together with stratified and rotational fluids. actual realizing of vertical stream phenomena and mechanisms is the 1st precedence through the publication. To make the publication self-contained, a few mathematical history is in brief offered on the whole textual content, yet significant must haves are systematically given in appendices. fabric often no longer noticeable in books on vortex dynamics is incorporated, akin to geophysical vortex dynamics, aerodynamic vortical circulation diagnostics and management.

Example text

Thus, the strain-rate tensor “induces” a potential velocity field in the neighborhood of the point under consideration, with direction normal to the deformation ellipsoid. In summary, the velocity at x = x + r is 1 u(x ) = u(x) + ∇ϕ + ω × r. 24) This result is known as the fundamental theorem of deformation kinematics: The instantaneous state of the fluid motion at every point is the superposition of a uniform translation, an irrotational stretching or shrinking along three orthogonal principal axes, and a rigid rotation around an axis.

25) where ϑ = ∇ · u is again the dilatation. The rate of change of a directional material surface element dS = n dS, where n is its unit normal vector, can be derived from that of line and volume elements. Take a line element dx not tangent to the surface element, such that dx · dS constitutes a volume element dv. 25), ϑ dx · dS = dx · ∇u · dS + dx · D (dS). 1 Basic Kinematics 23 is the surface deformation-rate tensor . The vector n · B represents the strainrate of a surface element of unit area.

20) on the role of ϑ and ω. 87) defined on a domain V are said functionally orthogonal in the inner-product integral sense, if and only if they are square-integrable and ∇φ · (∇ × ψ)dV = 0. 90) V For simplicity assume V is simply-connected. 87) will behave quite independently, or are decoupled. 91) u = ∇φ, u⊥ = ∇ × ψ, and specifically call u and u⊥ the longitudinal and transverse parts, respectively. If V is an unbounded domain where the potentials decay sufficiently fast as approaching infinity (see Sect.
