项目摘要

The goal of this project is to carry out a systematic study of vortical flows incorporating buoyancy effects, including the effects of gravity, density differences and surface tension. Explicit calculations of the motion of vortices in the presence of density differences and surface tension will develop understanding of fundamental fluid processes. Potential applications include a number of technological and geophysical situations, such as volcano vortex rings, cavitation, and flows around helicopter rotors and wind turbins. The project brings together researchers with complementary skills and experience in vortex dynamics and variable-density flows, and begins a new collaborative effort with scientists in Japan, Spain and Great Britain. In addition to outreach, during a series of workshops, the PI and teachers will develop a curriculum unit focusing on the calculus relevant to physical principles, illustrated by examples from the proposed work and fluid mechanics more generally. Four sub-projects will be investigated. First, the stability of vortex filaments will be examined in the presence of density variations. The case of rings and helices will be examined, since for these geometries solutions are known for the basic state. Second, an asymptotically consistent model for the evolution of a thin-core vortex filament with density variations will be developed and implemented. A formulation based on a force balance allows buoyancy and surface tension forces to be incorporated in a natural manner. Third, contour dynamics methods for axisymmetric vortex rings with density differences will be developed. This leads to the evolution of a vortex sheet on the boundary generated by baroclinic torques. Fourth, a new approach to contour dynamics applicable to helical vortices will be introduced and implemented, giving new exact solutions to the problem. The sub-projects are independent but related: each gives insight into features of the full problem. The outcome should include advances in the understanding of vortical fluid flow, including new solutions, and in new reduced models of such flows.

该项目的目标是对包含浮力效应的涡流进行系统研究，包括重力、密度差和表面张力的效应。在存在密度差和表面张力的情况下对涡旋运动的显式计算将加深对基本流体过程的理解。潜在的应用包括一些技术和地球物理的情况下，如火山涡环，空化，以及周围的直升机转子和风力涡轮机的流动。该项目汇集了在涡旋动力学和变密度流方面具有互补技能和经验的研究人员，并开始与日本、西班牙和英国的科学家进行新的合作。除了外展，在一系列的研讨会期间，PI和教师将开发一个课程单元，重点是与物理原理相关的微积分，并通过拟议工作和流体力学的例子进行说明。将调查四个次级项目。首先，在存在密度变化的情况下，将检验涡丝的稳定性。环和螺旋的情况下，将检查，因为这些几何形状的解决方案是已知的基本状态。其次，将发展和实施一个薄芯涡丝密度变化的演化的渐近一致模型。基于力平衡的配方允许浮力和表面张力以自然的方式结合。第三，将发展具有密度差的轴对称涡环的轮廓动力学方法。这导致了斜压力矩在边界上产生的涡面的演化。第四，一个新的方法轮廓动力学适用于螺旋涡将介绍和实施，给新的精确解决方案的问题。子项目是独立的，但相关的：每一个都让我们深入了解整个问题的特征。成果应包括在理解旋涡流体流动方面的进展，包括新的解决办法，以及这种流动的新的简化模型。
