In this article we shall review some recent developments for computing vortex sheet roll-up. A vortex sheet is an asymptotic model of a free shear layer in which the transition region between the two fluid streams is approximated by a surface across which the tangential velocity component is discontinuous. A common theme in fluid dynamics is that the vortex sheet model can be useful in understa...

PURPOSE To further understand postoperative complications after vortex vein damage during scleral buckling surgery. METHODS The records of 34 patients (34 eyes) with vortex vein damage during scleral buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were reviewed and compared with the records of 410 eyes undergoing similar surgery without vortex vein damage. RESULTS Postoperative compl...

water conveyance through pumping takes a lot of energy and cost and therefore, its application should be accompanied by exact design of pumping station as well as correct positions of pumps and their subsidiary apparatus. sumps are designed for many pumping stations and often face the problems of vortex and irregular flows. therefore an investigation of the general flow pattern in sumps in diff...

In many applications the flow that past bluff bodies has frequency nature (oscillated) and it is not uniform. This kind of flow has effects on the formation of vortex shedding behind bluff bodies. In this paper the flow around a circular cylinder was numerically simulated. The effects of frequency variation at inlet flow on the vortex shedding frequency were investigated. The transient Two-Dime...

Present study examines turbulent structures of a rough bed open-channel flow in the context of deterministic approach. Instantaneous velocity field is measured in different hydraulic conditions using two dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) in vertical plane and Stereoscopic PIV in horizontal plane. Different techniques and quantities such as swirl strength, two-point and cross-correlat...

  The flux-pinning mechanism and activation energy of 10 wt % malic acid-doped MgB2 were investigated by measuring of the critical current density and resistivity as a function of magnetic field and temperature. A crossover field, Bsb, was observed from the single vortex to the small vortex bundle pinning regime. For the sintered sample, the temperature dependence of Bsb(T) at low temperature i...

Electron columns confined magnetically in vacuum evolve in ðr; hÞ as N 10 field-aligned rods of charge, or point vortices. Neglecting discreteness, the column evolves as would vorticity in an inviscid, incompressible fluid, governed by the Euler equations. The macroscopic flow dynamics is readily imaged, including effects such as surface waves and inviscid damping, two vortex merger, and gradie...

The magnetic vortex with in-plane curling magnetization and out-of-plane magnetization at the core is a unique ground state in nanoscale magnetic elements. This kind of magnetic vortex can be used, through its downward or upward core orientation, as a memory unit for information storage, and thus, controllable core switching deserves some special attention. Our analytical and micromagnetic calc...

Vortices and axisymmetric vortex rings are considered in the framework of the subcritical nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The higher order nonlinearity present in such systems models many-body interactions in superfluid systems and allows one to study the effects of negative pressure on vortex dynamics. We find the critical pressure for which the straight-line vortex becomes unstable to radial...

The stability to three-dimensional disturbances of three classical steady vortex configurations in an incompressible inviscid fluid is studied in the limit of small vortex cross-sectional area and long axial disturbance wavelength. The configurations examined are the single infinite vortex row, the Karman vortex street of staggered vortices and the symmetric vortex street. It is shown that the ...
