Chaotic advection can play an important role in efficient microfluidic mixers. We discuss a
design paradigm that exploits chaotic advection and illustrate by two recent examples …

In this paper we apply dynamical systems analyses and computational tools to fluid transport
in empirically measured vortex ring flows. Measurements of quasisteadily propagating …

A particle method is presented for computing vortex sheet motion in three-dimensional flow.
The particles representing the sheet are advected by a regularized Biot–Savart integral in …

In this study we consider the separated flow of an inviscid fluid around a moving flat plate.
The motion of the plate, which is initially started from rest, is prescribed and unconstrained …

IN PARTICULAR flight conditions, helicopter main rotor blades experience a phenomenon
known as blade–vortex interaction (BVI), which consists of the passage of a rotor blade …

Inviscid vortex models have been demonstrated to capture the essential physics of
massively separated flows past aerodynamic surfaces, but they become computationally …

The purpose of this study is to analyse the transport and stirring of fluid that occurs owing to
the formation and growth of a laminar vortex ring. Experimental data was collected upstream …

An inviscid vortex sheet model is developed in order to study the unsteady separated flow
past a two-dimensional deforming body which moves with a prescribed motion in an …

We use computer simulations and an analytical model to study the relationship between
kinematics and performance in jet-propelled jellyfish swimming. We prescribe different …

We study the vortex-accelerated secondary baroclinic vorticity deposition (VAVD) at late-
intermediate times, and dynamics of sinusoidal single-mode Richtmyer–Meshkov interfaces …
