The problem of the choice of parameters (density, size) of particle inertia for visualization and diagnostics of free vortices of various intensities (characteristic velocity, vortex funnel diameter) is considered. The dimensionless criterion (Stokes number) is used, which determines the peculiarities of solid particles behavior in concentrated vortex structures. An example of the choice of particle parameters for visualization of a laboratory simulated air vortex funnel and debris cloud is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
