The Rankine vortex is a type of vortex in a viscous fluid. It is named after its discoverer, William John Macquorn Rankine. A swirling flow in a viscous fluid can be characterized by a forced vortex in its central core, surrounded by a free vortex. In an inviscid fluid, on the other hand, a swirling flow consists entirely of the free vortex with a singularity at its center point instead of the forced vortex core. The tangential velocity of a Rankine vortex with circulation and radius is : The remainder of the velocity components are identically zero, so that the total velocity field is . == See also == * Vortex * Viscosity * Wingtip vortices 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rankine vortex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
