Vortex Rings and Jets

Vortex Rings and Jets brings together recent progress in understanding how vortex rings and jets behave close to their origin. The contributors report current findings from experiments and numerical simulations, which have expanded what is known about these flows over the past decade. The catalogue gives the full title as Vortex Rings and Jets: Recent Developments in Near-Field Dynamics.

The chapters move through the subject in sequence. They begin with the pinch-off of a vortex ring and how it leads into jet formation, then look at ring impingement on solid surfaces, including porous ones. Later chapters cover synthetic jets, nozzle edge changes used to control mixing, and impinging jets used in heat transfer.

It is written for postgraduate students and researchers who want to catch up with recent work on vortex ring and jet flows. This is the 2015 edition, published by Springer Nature with 235 pages and ISBN-13 9789812873958.
