... The tendency of the flexible material of blades is to adjust its shape locally, however, it globally (due to surrounding flow) affects the boundary layer and thereby changes the dynamic and static stall characteristics. This leads to the breaking of the larger vortices in the smaller vortices resulting...

...Jiajia Li; Pablo M. Carrica We propose a method to visualize vortex cores based on manipulation of the pressure field produced by isolated vortices in incompressible flow. Under ideal conditions, the function D = 2 | ∇ p | / ∇ 2 p yields an approximate distance to vortex centerlines. As opposed...

The procedure followed by this research work was as follows: The unsteady flow features, called “rolling vortices” by Giron et al. [ 14 ], are clearly unsteady...

... is 163.93 Hz, and the cavitation shedding frequency at the short side is 306.67 Hz, which is about twice the value of the former. The filtered vorticity transport equation is employed to investigate the cavitation–vortex–turbulence interaction. Results indicate that vortex stretching is the major promoter...

... as the distribution of the tangential velocity on different axial positions, have been specifically captured and analyzed. The “strake,” “claw,” and “ivory” vortices have been newly found and defined at the initial evolution stage, and they subsequently begin to harshly wind and rotate with the primary vortex. A flow...

They identified three types of cavitating vortices: near-wake vortices, the primary two-dimensional Kármán vortices, and secondary three-dimensional streamwise vortices. In addition, three...
