Polarized vortex reconnection

J Yao, F Hussain - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
Polarized vortical structures (ie with axial flow, thus coiled vortex lines) are generic to
turbulent flows–hence the importance of their dynamics, interactions and cascade. Direct …

The influence of collision angle for viscous vortex reconnection
