The source and evolution of turbulence in trailing vortex pairs
… the experimental study of two different trailing vortex pairs has been conducted to obtain a more complete understanding of the turbulence structure of these flows. Statistical and spectral results, as well as filtered results and estimates of the effects of vortex wandering on the characteristics …

Development of Aircraft Wake Vortex Dynamic Separations Using Computer Simulation and Modeling
… presents a research effort to evaluate wake vortex mitigation procedures and technologies in order to decrease aircraft separations, which could result in a runway capacity increase. Aircraft separation is a major obstacle to increasing the operational efficiency of the final approach segment …

Understanding Jupiter’s Polar Vortex Crystals
This thesis explores vortex dynamics on background planetary potential vorticity (PV) gradients caused by planetary rotation. Using a quasi-geostrophic (QG) pseudo-spectral model, we investigated the formation of opposing PV annuli that form on the vortex edges as a result of this drift known as a …
