Bursting on a vortex tube with initial axial core-size perturbations

We simulate and analyze the evolution of a rectilinear vortex tube with initial axial core-size perturbations at circulation-based Reynolds number of 5000. The initial variations in the core size are associated with axial gradients in the azimuthal velocity, which generates azimuthal vorticity. This...
