Vortex flows for incompressible inviscid fluids (76B47) Transition to turbulence (76F06) Liquid-gas two-phase flows, bubbly flows (76T10)

Abstract: Vortex breakdown phenomena in the axial vortices is an important feature which occurs frequently in geophysical flows (tornadoes and hurricanes) and in engineering flows (flow past delta wings, Von-Kerman vortex dynamo). We analyze helicity for axisymmetric vortex breakdown and propose a simplified formulation. For such cases, negative helicity is shown to conform to the vortex breakdown. A model problem has been analyzed to verify the results. The topology of the vortex breakdown is governed entirely by helicity density in the vertical plane. Our proposed methodology may be regarded as the prototype for identifying and characterize the breakdowns/eye in more complicated large-scale flows such as tornadoes/hurricanes.
