Abstract
En 中文
Following Bradshaw's analogy between rotating and stratified flows, the turbulence within a vortex is analyzed using a new model for stratified entrainment. At the vortex radius where the tangential velocity is a maximum, the model predicts that the flow is so strongly stratified that even the smallest turbulent eddies are incapable of transporting fluid there. The growth of the vortex is thus limited by molecular viscosity, even though the vortex Reynolds number is large. The model prediction is compared to experiments in the literature of wingtip vortices. The result is consistent with the remarkable observations of laminar-like growth of this turbulent flow.
