Understanding Vortex Reconnection in Complex Fluid Flows
Reconnection of wingtip vortices behind aircrafts is thought to be a cause of wake turbulence, detrimental to air traffic control. We observe the reconnection process for three initial vortex tube set-ups; anti-parallel, orthogonal and anti-parallel with axial flow. From these we are able to …

On quantum vortex reconnections
The thesis analyzes the phenomenon of quantum reconnections in superfluids, in particular in Bose–Einstein condensates, governed by the Gross–Pitaevskii Equation (GPE). The investigation is applied to two distinct settings. First we study the reconnection between an inclined vortex ring and a …

An Experimental Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Separated Flows Over Bluff Bodies Using Quantitative Flow Visualization
… combined with the natural unsteadiness of the vortex shedding generates a very complex flow filed which is difficult to study with conventional methods. By employing the aforementioned system we are able to reveal a departure of the two-dimensional character of the flow in the form of oblique …
