"Vortex" is a common phenomenon in nature from tornado to turbulence, for example turbulence is a vortex buildup process (Figure 1). Investigators have realized that turbulence is not a purely ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 24, No. 3 (Jun., 1987), pp. 538-582 (45 pages) We prove the convergence of a large class of vortex methods for two-dimensional incompressible, inviscid flows ...

The Vortex Particle Method (VPM), a meshless vortex flow simulation approach, is gaining traction for its efficient simulation of unsteady vortex wakes evolution that is shed by aircrafts, rotors and ...

A variety of aerodynamic control devices have been used for regulating wind turbines, some of which are briefly reviewed. Leading edge slats are proposed with the twofold functions of either ...

Helicopter safety researchers are to undertake formal analysis of the hazardous vortex ring phenomenon and the effectiveness of an alternative recovery and escape technique. The vortex ring state is ...
