Embry-Riddle partners with private and public entities to assist in developing solutions to today's and tomorrow's aeronautical and aerospace problems. Here at the world's largest aviation-oriented university, our focus on applied research is unique.
Vortices
PI Ciprian Mancas
Utilizing a rotational actuator with a paddle in a water tank, the velocity and vortices fields of vortex rings are obtained. For a wide range of paddles, and angular velocities, formation of ring vortices that travel in the tank with constant energy will be analyzed. The vortex ring propagation is useful for sending information across an optical fiber for long distances.
