This book is a comprehensive and intensive monograph for scientists, engineers and applied
mathematicians, as well as graduate students in fluid dynamics. It starts with a brief review of fundamentals of fluid dynamics, with an innovative emphasis on the intrinsic orthogonal decomposition of fluid dynamics process. This is followed by vortex dynamics dealing with the motion, interaction, stability, and breakdown of various vortices. Typical vortex structures are analyzed in laminar,
translational, and turbulent flows, including stratified and rotational
fluids. In another chapter vortical flow management is presented, such as diagnostics and control. Physical understanding of vortical flow…
