Computational aspects of three-dimensional vortex element methods: Applications with vortex rings
The author gives a brief presentation of vortex element method. A three-dimensional vortical flow field in an inviscid incompressible fluid is represented by sufficiently large number of vortons, and the nature of three-dimensional energy spectra of vortex rings is discussed. Instantaneous interaction patterns and energy spectra are presented for three cases: the interaction of two vortex rings starting in side by side arrangement; the coaxial interaction of two vortex rings starting one behind the other; the motion of four vortex rings along parallel axes. Computations demonstrate that the interaction of vortex rings can produce energy spectra which have parts of the approximate \(-5/3\) law spectrum. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0873.00029].
