Axial Flow in Trailing Line Vortices.

Abstract

Axial flow in the core of laminar steady trailing vortex from the tip of a semi-infinite lifting wing is analyzed, assuming that the pressure gradient is determined by the swirl velocities of an ideal infinite line vortex. The axial and lateral variations of the axial velocity depend on the strength of the vortex and initial axial velocity distribution which must be specified at some station behind the wing. (Author)
