  4. Examples of vortex flows VORTEX BREAKDOWN IN THE LABORATORY The photo at the right is of a laboratory vortex breakdown provided by Professor Sarpkaya at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. Under these highly controlled conditions the bubble-like or B-mode breakdown is nicely illustrated. It is seen in the enlarged version that it is followed by an S-mode breakdown.

  5. Examples of vortex flows VOLCANIC VORTEX RING The image at the right depicts a vortex ring generated in the crater of Mt. Etna. Apparently these rings are quite rare. The generation mechanism is bound to be the escape of high pressure gases through a vent in the crater. If the venting is sufficiently rapid and the edges of the vent are relatively sharp, a nice vortex ring ought to form.

  41. Irrotational Flow Approximation • Irrotational approximation: vorticity is negligibly small • In general, inviscid regions are also irrotational, but there are situations where inviscid flow are rotational, e.g., solid body rotation (Ex. 10-3)

  42. Irrotational Flow Approximation2D Flows • For 2D flows, we can also use the streamfunction • Recall the definition of streamfunction for planar (x-y) flows • Since vorticity is zero, • This proves that the Laplace equation holds for the streamfunction and the velocity potential

  43. Elementary Planar Irrotational FlowsUniform Stream • In Cartesian coordinates • Conversion to cylindrical coordinates can be achieved using the transformation Proof with Mathematica

  44. Elementary Planar Irrotational FlowsLine Source/Sink • Potential and streamfunction are derived by observing that volume flow rate across any circle is • This gives velocity components

  45. Elementary Planar Irrotational FlowsLine Source/Sink • Using definition of (Ur, U) • These can be integrated to give  and  Equations are for a source/sink at the origin Proof with Mathematica
