The results of the experimental studies efficiency method vortex feeding polymers developed by authors are presented. novelty device lies in fact that when polymer is fed into boundary layer, longitudinal velocity and additional circumferential reported simultaneously. It has been established with introduction polyethylene oxide solutions layer model, using proposed device, a reduction hydrodyn...

We study how Laplacian Center Gauge identifies the vortex content of a thick SU(2) vortex configuration on the lattice. This configuration is a solution of the Yang-Mills classical equations of motion having vortex properties. We find that this gauge fixing procedure cleanly identifies the underlying vortex properties. We also study the monopole content of this configuration detected with this ...

This paper presents tools which allow an advanced investigation of spatial and temporal progress of segmented vortex structures in flow fields with the consideration of vortex dynamics. The work is based on the local and Eulerian detection and segmentation of vortex structures and the visualization of these structures with recent visualization methods, e.g. the application of LIC-textures on th...

The present study explores flow visualization experiments with various blunt shaped bluff bodies placed inside a circular pipe. The bodies mainly comprise of modifications of trapezoidal cylinder, most widely used in practical applications, such as vortex flowmeters. The present configuration possesses the feature of both internal and external flows with low aspect ratio. The vortex dynamics of...

We perform Monte Carlo studies of vortices in three dimensions in a cylindrical confinement, with uniform and nonuniform density. The former is relevant to rotating 4He; the latter is relevant to a rotating trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. In the former case, we find dominant angular thermal vortex fluctuations close to the cylinder wall. For the latter case, a novel effect is that at low temp...

The vortex stretching process is relevant to energy transport at various scales in turbulent flow and in vortex reconnection. For these, reasons, exact solutions for vortex flow are useful. Robinson and Saffman [1] examined the Burgers vortex solution and found closed form steady solutions for special parameter values. Unsteady 2D Burgers vortex solutions have been used to model the spanwise st...

Recently several different approaches have been developed for the simulation of three-dimensional incompressible fluid flows using vortex methods. Some versions use detailed tracking of vortex filament structures and often local curvatures of these filaments, while other methods require only crude information, such as the vortex blobs of the two-dimensional case. Can such "crude" algorithms acc...

We carried out experiments to study the e ect of local disturbances on the vortex dynamics in the light-sensitive Belousov Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. It was found that irradiation with visible light of the core region of a rotating spiral wave (vortex) in an oscillatory medium results in a bifurcation which dramatically changes the shape of the vortex. The bifurcation is seen as an unfolding in...

Classical and quantum theory of spin waves in the vortex state of a mesoscopic submicron magnetic disk have been developed with account of the finite mass density of the vortex. Oscillations of the vortex core resemble oscillations of a charged string in a potential well in the presence of the magnetic field. A conventional gyrotropic frequency appears as a gap in the spectrum of spin waves of ...

We study the two transverse quadrupole modes of a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate with a single centered vortex. We show that the counterrotating mode is more strongly damped than in the absence of a vortex, whereas the corotating mode is not affected appreciably by the vortex. We interpret this result as a decay of the counterrotating quadrupole mode into two excitations of the vortex li...
