        Abstract
        Applications of the vortex have been used in engineering for many years. Since the recent publication of Rudolph Hilsch's work in Germany it is widely known that there is a transfer of energy from the center to the outside of a vortex in an actual gas. However, there is no theory which satisfactorily explains this transfer of energy in a vortex. In this investigation, an effort was made to determine the characteristics of a vertex in an actual gas, the vortex being formed inside a pipe by the introduction of air tangent to the inside wall of the pipe.

          Turbulence structure resulting from interaction between an embedded vortex and wall jet. 

          Green, James G. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989);
          Interactions of wall jets and vortices embedded in turbulent boundary layers commonly occur near gas turbine blades and endwalls where film cooling is employed. These interactions frequently result in undesirable heat ...

          Synoptic disturbances over the equatorial South China Sea and western Maritime Continent during boreal winter 

          Chang, C.-P.; Harr, P. A.; Chen, H. J. (2005);
          During boreal winter, the Maritime Continent is a region of deep cumulus convection and heavy precipitation systems that play a major role in several global- and regional-scale processes. Over the western part of this ...

          Experiments with a simple hurricane-interacting ocean model 

          Corgnati, Leino Bartholomew, Jr. (Monterey, California; Naval Postgraduate School, 1971-09);
          The equation developed by Riehl (1963) for a steady, symmetrical hurricane are used to specify a vortex over a fixed depth boundary layer, which interacts with a simple ocean model. Only vertical mixing in the surface ...
