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.

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.

At the right is a vortex ring generated by Professor T.T. Lim and his former
colleagues at the University of Melbourne. The visualization technique
appears to be by smoke.

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)

Irrotational Flow Approximation
2D 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

Elementary Planar Irrotational Flows
Uniform Stream
!   In Cartesian coordinates
!   Conversion to cylindrical
coordinates can be
achieved using the
transformation


Line Source/Sink
!   Potential and
streamfunction are
derived by observing that
volume flow rate across
any circle is
!   This gives velocity
components

Line Source/Sink
!   Using definition of (Ur, Uθ)
!   These can be integrated

to give φ and ψ
Equations are for a source/sink

at the origin

Line Source/Sink
!   If source/sink is
moved to (x,y) = (a,b)

Line Vortex
!   Vortex at the origin. First

look at velocity
components
!   These can be integrated

to give φ and ψ
Equations are for a source/sink

at the origin

Line Vortex
!   If vortex is moved to
(x,y) = (a,b)

Doublet
!   A doublet is a
combination of a line
sink and source of
equal magnitude
!   Source
!   Sink

Doublet
!   Adding ψ1 and ψ2
together, performing
some algebra, and
taking a→0 gives
K is the doublet strength

Examples of Irrotational Flows Formed

vortex : bathtub vortex

!   Assume body is ψ = 0
(r = a) ⇒ K = Va2

by Superposition
!   Velocity field can be found by
differentiating streamfunction
!   On the cylinder surface (r=a)
Normal velocity (Ur) is zero, Tangential

velocity (Uθ) is non-zero ⇒slip condition.
