The starting vortices generated by bodies with sharp and straight edges in a viscous fluid

Abstract: A two-dimensional body that moves suddenly in a viscous fluid can instantly generate vortices at its sharp edges. Recent work using inviscid flow theory, based on the Birkhoff–Rott equation and the Kutta condition, predicts that the ‘starting vortices’ generated by the sharp and straight edges of a body – i.e. the vortices formed immediately after motion begins – can be one of three distinct self-similar types. We explore the existence of these starting vortices for a flat plate and two symmetric Joukowski aer… Show more
