| 1. | It describes the evolution of the vortex sheet given initial conditions.
|
| 2. | Greater details on vortex sheets can be found in the textbook by Saffman ( 1977 ).
|
| 3. | The combination of the wingtip vortices and the vortex sheets feeding them is called the vortex wake.
|
| 4. | The discontinuity in the tangential velocity means that the flow has infinite vorticity on a vortex sheet.
|
| 5. | The vortex sheet solution as given by the Birkoff-Rott equation cannot go beyond the critical time.
|
| 6. | The formulation of the vortex sheet equation of motion is given in terms of a complex coordinate z = x + iy.
|
| 7. | It was readily known that such steady flows are not stable, since the vortex sheets develop so-called Kelvin Helmholtz instabilities.
|
| 8. | After the flow leaves the trailing edge, this difference in velocity takes place across a relatively thin shear layer called a vortex sheet.
|
| 9. | There have been extensive studies on a vortex sheet, most of them by discrete or point vortex approximation, with or without desingularization.
|
| 10. | As the vortex sheet is convected downstream from the trailing edge, it rolls up at its outer edges, eventually forming distinct wingtip vortices.
