Vortex shedding may occur in tube arrays, resulting in strong excitation forces at discrete frequencies. In the past the Strouhal numbers governing vortex shedding in these systems were determined primarily by experiment. This paper presents a computationally inexpensive method of numerical simulation for the unsteady flow through a rigid normal triangular tube array which determines both the f...

In this paper we compare experimentally two methods of detecting optical vortices from Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS) data, the vortex potential and the contour sum methods. The experimental setup uses a spatial light modulator (SLM) to generate turbulent fields with vortices. In the experiment, many fields are generated and detected by a SHWFS, and data is analysed by the two vortex d...

The study of quantized vortex lines has been advanced hy the technique of vortex photography. This paper prov~dex an overview of the information which has been acquired thus far from this method. Stationary cortex states are ohser\ed which are very similar to those predicted from theory. In addition types of dynamical phenomena are observed. such a\ collective oscillations and the acceleration ...

Understanding and manipulating the dynamic properties of the magnetic vortices stabilized in patterned ferromagnetic structures are of great interest owing to the superior resonant features with the high thermal stability and their flexible tunability. So far, numerous methods for investigating the dynamic properties of the magnetic vortex have been proposed and demonstrated. However, those tec...

Formation of the ‘dip’ structure which foregoes switching of magnetic vortex polarity is studied numerically in magnetic nanodisc. A new method based on influence of the spin-transfer torque is used. The method allows one to obtain the dip structure for immobile vortex which significantly improves studying accuracy in comparison with the case of moving vortex. Free out-of-plane vortices as well...

A method is presented whereby the translational velocity of a vortex ring can be approximated from the total circulation, impulse, and kinetic energy of the vortex system. Assuming a uniform vorticity density, these bulk quantities define a unique stable vortex ring configuration, and the translational velocity can be inferred from this configuration and the system scaling. Here, the accuracy o...

This paper is about experimental results for partial reduction of vortex at vertical pipe intakes. One of the easiest and practical ways of reducing vortex effect is to use anti-vortex plates or baffles. These plates can be used to avoid the vortex completely or partially. This paper will concentrate on the latter case. Rectangular plates with different dimensions have been placed at different ...

The existence of vortex condensates in the self-dual Maxwell-ChernSimons-Higgs System on a flat torus is proved by the super-sub solution method under the assumption that the total vortex number in a given periodic domain is not too large. We also study the limiting behaviors of the solutions as the Chern-Simons coupling constant goes to some limits. In the Abelian-Higgs limit we find that our ...

When a vortex beam with a spiral phase structure passes through dynamic angular double slits (ADS), the interference pattern changes alternatively between destructive and constructive at the angular bisector of the ADS. This change is due to their phase difference. Based on this property, we experimentally demonstrate a simple method to precisely and efficiently determine the topological charge...

A new method for directly assimilating Lagrangian tracer observations for flow state estimation is presented. It is developed in the context of point vortex systems. With tracer advection equations augmenting the point vortex model, the correlations between the vortex and tracer positions allow one to use the observed tracer positions to update the non-observed vortex positions. The method work...
