VORTEX DYNAMICS 1. Introduction

(x) is the scalar vorticity. Equations (4,5) and (6,7) are the basis of the numerical methods discussed in x4. A vortex is typically deflned by a region in the °uid of concentrated vorticity. A simple model is a point vortex in 2D °ow, which corresponds to a straight vortex fllament of unit circulation. The associated scalar vorticity is a ...

Fluids – Lecture 12 Notes - MIT

If we attempt to compute the vorticity of the potential-derived velocity field by taking its curl, we find that the vorticity vector is identically zero. For example, for the vorticity x-component we find ξx ≡ ∂w ∂y − ∂v ∂z = ∂ ∂y ∂φ ∂z − ∂ ∂z ∂φ ∂y = ∂2φ ∂y∂z − ∂2φ ∂z∂y = 0

Supercell Thunderstorm Structure and Evolution

Horizontal vorticity is tilted into updraft creating cyclonic (+) and anticyclonic (-) vertical vorticity on south and north side of storm. Dynamic low pressure in response to rotation enhances updraft. Rain causes downdraft in middle which splits storm in 2. For a right (left) moving storm, cyclonic

so that the vorticity blows up rapidly. Many numerical computations appear to exhibit blowup for solutions of the Euler equations, but the extreme numerical instability of the equations makes it very hard to draw reliable conclusions. The above results are covered very well in the book of Bertozzi and Majda [1].
