Investigators have modeled oceanic and atmospheric vortices in the laboratory in a number
of different ways, employing background rotation, density effects, and geometrical …

Jet-like extensions of the slope current off northern Spain and France in the southern Bay of
Biscay in the winter develop into anticyclonic eddies with an upper core of slope water …

Laboratory experiments on barotropic vortices in a rotating fluid revealed that the instability
behaviour of cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices is remarkably different. Depending on its …

Vortex crystals is one name in use for the subject of vortex patterns that move without
change of shape or size. Most of what is known pertains to the case of arrays of parallel line …

Cavitation has been observed in the trailing vortex system of an elliptic planform hydrofoil. A
complex dependence on Reynolds number and gas content is noted at inception. Some of …

A small-scale cyclonic vortex in a relatively broad valley tends to climb up and out of the
valley in a cyclonic spiral about the centre, and when over a relatively broad hill it tends to …

Tripolar coherent vortices are shown to emerge from the unstable evolution of perturbed two-
dimensional axisymmetric flows. They are obtained from the nonlinear equilibration of …

This paper reviews some aspects of topography effects on the dynamics of barotropic
monopolar, dipolar and tripolar vortices in a rotating fluid. It is shown that the modulated …

Within the framework of the study of coherent vortex structures as emerging in rotating, quasi-
two-dimensional flows, the tripolar vortex is a relatively novel feature. It consists of a …

Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a
systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in …
