A whirlpool is an example of the latter, namely a vortex in a body of water whose axis ends at the free surface. A vortex tube whose vortex lines are all closed will be a closed torus-like surface. A newly created vortex will promptly extend and bend so as to eliminate any open-ended vortex lines.
Wingtip vortices are circular patterns of rotating air left behind a wing as it generates lift. [1] : 5.14 The name is a misnomer because the cores of the vortices are slightly inboard of the wing tips. [2] : 369 Wingtip vortices are sometimes named trailing or lift-induced vortices because they also occur at points other than at the wing tips.
A starting vortex behind a wing profile, made visible by plotting pressure distribution in a CFD simulation. In fluid dynamics, the starting vortex is a vortex which forms in the air adjacent to the trailing edge of an airfoil as it is accelerated from rest. [1] It leaves the airfoil (which now has an equal but opposite "bound vortex" around it ...
Vortex Optics is a DBA of Sheltered Wings, Inc., which was incorporated in Wisconsin in 1989. Sheltered Wings, Inc. DBA Vortex Optics began in 2002. In 2022 after extensive research, testing and reviews Vortex became an official supplier and contractor to the American Military as the U.S. Army selected Vortex‘s XM-157 fire control system for its Next Generation Squad Weapon program.
Here’s a closer look at why VC funding can cause startups to make bad products. Where VC funding goes awry. People often assume “small business” and “startup” are interchangeable. But ...
Polar vortex. A circumpolar vortex, or simply polar vortex, is a large region of cold, rotating air; polar vortices encircle both of Earth's polar regions. Polar vortices also exist on other rotating, low- obliquity planetary bodies. [1] The term polar vortex can be used to describe two distinct phenomena; the stratospheric polar vortex, and ...
Vortex engine. The concept of a vortex engine or atmospheric vortex engine ( AVE ), independently proposed by Norman Louat [1] and Louis M. Michaud, [2] aims to replace large physical chimneys with a vortex of air created by a shorter, less-expensive structure. The AVE induces ground-level vorticity, resulting in a vortex similar to a naturally ...
Vortex Bladeless Ltd. is a Spanish technology startup company that is developing a specific type of wind power generator without rotating blades or lubricants. [1] Power is produced from resonant vibrations when wind passes through the turbine and is deflected into vortices in a process called vortex shedding .
