VortexStrukturen
VortexStrukturen describes organized patterns of rotating motion in fluids and other media, characterized by localized concentrations of vorticity and coherent swirl. They occur in gases, liquids, plasmas, and quantum fluids, and can persist from short bursts to extended periods depending on forcing and dissipation.
In classical fluids, vortex structures arise from shear, boundary effects, or impulsive energy input. They are
Common types include vortex tubes, which are extended lines of concentrated vorticity; vortex rings, which form
Vortex structures appear in natural and experimental settings: atmospheric phenomena such as tornadoes and dust devils;
Study methods include flow visualization and measurement techniques such as particle image velocimetry, schlieren imaging, and
