Vortices/Turbulence Incident Upon Bodies

Interaction of an incident laminar or turbulent vortex array with a streamlined leading-edge or a cylinder are currently receiving attention.

Applications. Aircraft wake hazard, whereby the vortex system generated by a previous aircraft interacts with the follow aircraft, wake from an upstream tall building incident upon a downstream building, upstream turbulence/vortices in a turbomachinery cascade incident upon downstream blading.
