2 Overview Part I: Vortices Part II: Vector Field Topology

3 Part I: Vortices

4 Vortex Definition No rigorous, widely-accepted definition Robinson 1991: A vortex exists when instantaneous streamlines mapped onto a plane normal to the vortex core exhibit a roughly circular or spiral pattern, when viewed from a reference frame moving with the center of the vortex core Requires a priori detection Not Galilean invariant

5 Vortex Criteria: Δ Δ > 0 [Chong et al. 1990] Eigenvalues λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 of u satisfy characteristic equation λ 3 Pλ 2 + Qλ R = 0 with P = trace( u) = div( u) = 0 (divergence-free flow) Q = ½ (trace( u) 2 trace(( u) 2 )) R = det( u) Δ = (Q/3) 3 + (R/2) 2 > 0 Interpretation Complex eigenvalues of u

6 Vortex Criteria: Q Q > 0 [Hunt et al. 1988] Eigenvalues λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 of u satisfy characteristic equation λ 3 Pλ 2 + Qλ R = 0 with Q = ½ (trace( u) 2 trace(( u) 2 )) = ½ ( Ω 2 - S 2 ) S = ½ ( u + ( u) T ) Ω = ½ ( u -( u) T ) Interpretation balance between shear strain rate and vorticity (= u) magnitude

7 Vortex Criteria: λ 2 λ 2 < 0 [Jeong et al. 1995] Eigenvalues λ 1 λ 2 λ 3 of S 2 + Ω 2 with S = ½ ( u + ( u) T ) Ω = ½ ( u -( u) T ) Interpretation Removes unsteady irrotational straining and viscous effects S 2 + Ω 2 represents negated Hessian of a corrected pressure p S 2 + Ω 2 = - 1/ρ Hessian(p)

8 Vortex Core Lines Δ > 0 and u ε r (ε r : real eigenvector of u) [Sujudi et al. 1995] Not Galilean invariant λ 2 isosurfaces vs. vortex core lines in different frames Images: Sahner et al. 2005

15 Mz An objective definition of a vortex [Haller 2005] material tubes in which material elements do not align with directions suggested by the strain eigenvectors. Based on strain acceleration tensor (Cotter-Rivlin): M = S/ t + ( S)u + S( u) + ( u) T S Z(x,t): cone in strain basis Mz: restriction of M on Z(x,t) Image: Haller 2005 Measure the time a trajectory spends in indefinite Mz If high vortex
