We investigate, with the aid of a three‐dimensional direct‐numerical simulation at high resolution, the origin and topology of the longitudinal vortex filaments which appear in the temporally growing mixing layer. The basic velocity field is a hyperbolic‐tangent profile U tanh(2y/δi), with a Reynolds number of Uδi/ν =100. The calculation uses pseudospectral methods, and is carried out at a resolution of 1283 grid points in a cubic box of size L containing four fundamental most‐amplified wavelengths (L=4λa). The initial velocity field is the basic velocity, upon which is superposed a three‐dimensional Gaussian perturbation of wide spectrum, peaking at ka=1/2πλa, with kinetic energy equal to 10−4U2, modulated by a Gaussian exp[−(y/δi)2] in the transverse direction. A passive‐scalar transport equation is solved as well, with the same initial profile as the basic velocity profile. Isosurfaces of the passive scalar and three vorticity components are visualized, permitting the 3‐D vortex structure of the flows ...
