Vortex rings are toroidal structures of fluid characterised by closed-loop vorticity that provide a compelling example of coherent structures in fluid dynamics. Their dynamics involve complex ...

Compressible vortex dynamics and shock wave interactions are central to advancing our understanding of fluid mechanics in high-speed regimes. These phenomena underpin critical applications in ...

Tsukuba, Japan—When humans kick swim through water, vortices form around their legs, generating the force that propels them forward. However, the mechanisms underlying variations in the structure of ...
