Overview
- Clear and concise introduction to the theory of concentrated vortices
- Presents basic elements of vortex motion: waves, shear flows, helical motion (twisters)
- Nonlinearity effects are analyzed such as vortex breakdown, self-induced motion of vortices such as vortex rings, helical vortices and real swirl flows

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book contains a comprehensive overview and authoritative coverage of the wide field of concentrated vortices observed in nature and technique. It familiarizes readers with the methods for research of their kinematics and dynamics. … this book also covers recent achievements in the fields of stability analysis, waves on vortices and vortex breakdown. Scientists working in the areas of applied mathematics, and in theoretical and/or computational fluid dynamics will benefit from this book, which may serve both as a reference monograph and a textbook." (Felix Kaplanski, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1132 (10), 2008)
