Abstract
En 中文
This work focuses on the basic interactions between a vortex and an interface separating two incompressible fluids. Specifically, we investigate how vorticity produced at an interface influences the dynamics of this very same interface and how the produced vorticity engenders small scales and small droplets. A critical Weber number We(c)((1)) exists discriminating the conditions upon which the interface rolls up around the vortex significantly. In addition, we show that a second critical Weber number We(c)((2)) appears. For Weber numbers below this value, the dynamic response of the interface only depends slightly on the Reynolds number. For Weber numbers above We(c)((2)), the vorticity layers generated by the interface itself trigger a combined Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability that leads to the appearance of extremely small structures with a characteristic size that strongly depends on the Reynolds number.
