About

Vortex flows is a fundamental concept and active research area within fluid dynamics concerning the motion of fluids characterized by the presence of vorticity. It investigates the formation, evolution, stability, and interaction of coherent swirling structures, known as vortices, whose dynamics are crucial for understanding and predicting diverse phenomena, including turbulent transport, aerodynamic lift, atmospheric and oceanic currents, and mixing processes across various scales and applications.
