GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Remember the term polar vortex? We have heard about it and felt that bitter cold arctic air during plenty of West Michigan winters, but what is a vortex and how does it work?? We ...

Compressible vortex dynamics and shock wave interactions are central to advancing our understanding of fluid mechanics in high-speed regimes. These phenomena underpin critical applications in ...

The process of vortex ring generation and propagation has received substantial treatment in the literature. A common ring generation geometry consists of a piston moving through tube that exits into a ...
