▼ The
vortex matter in type-II superconductors continues
to be a
subject of great fascination in condensed matter physics. A
longstanding theoretical and experimental problem is the
identification of the ground state of the
vortex lines in the
presence of quenched atomic disorder which acts as random pinning
centers. A possible edge contamination model has been proposed as a
mechanism behind the seemingly contradictory experimental results
for the ordered state of matter. This model could also explain the
lack of universality for the peak effect behavior exhibited in
samples with otherwise similar phase diagrams. Using a novel
neutron diffraction technique, we report structural evidence for
this edge contamination mechanism. This high-resolution method is
used to study the fine structure of the
vortex matter in a niobium
crystal with a weak peak effect and a disordered zero-field-cooled
vortex matter. We find this disordered state is metastable and that
it can be restructured through a thermal cycling procedure. The
results are explained in a strained lattice framework. We then
perform Reverse Monte Carlo Refinements on our neutron scattering
data and the possible
vortex structures for our crystal agree with
experimental results from an approach that combines spatial
information with reciprocal space scattering. Having confirmed the
existence of an edge contamination mechanism in this sample, we
oxidize the surface in order to reduce the impact of the
inhomogeneous surface barrier. By repeating our neutron diffraction
measurements, we find that oxidation process has smoothed the
magnetic field profile through the sample and improves the overall
structural order of the zero-field-cooled
vortex matter. On the
other hand, the field-cooled
vortex matter structure should be
independent of any edge contamination effect but surprisingly, this
scattering intensity in fact doubles after surface oxidation. This
result suggests that there is another source of disorder in the
niobium crystal that has been affected. We discuss our results in
the context of the peak effect and Bragg glass
models.

▼ The Ranque-Hilsch
vortex tube or simply the
vortex tube is a device that separates a high pressure gas into a low pressure hot stream and a low pressure cold stream simultaneously without the need for a power supply. Although this device is largely applied for cooling, especially spot cooling of electronic controls, machining operations and such, there has been certain interest in exploring its phase separation ability. This thesis presents results of an innovative method that is aimed towards improving the phase separation and condensate collection application of the
vortex tube. In this study a centerline no-slip condition is introduced in the
vortex tube by suspending different inserts (rods and tubes) through it. The effects on the cooling capacity of the
vortex tube along with the effects on inlet, cold and hot mass flow rates are observed. The experimental results indicate that even though the inserts negatively impact the refrigeration effect at higher cold fractions, for lower cold ratios the method works satisfactorily. There is a definite increase in cold mass flow rate due to centerline no-slip with corresponding decrease in hot mass flow rates. The reasons for this phenomenon are explored in the thesis. It was also concluded that as the outer diameter of the insert increases, the refrigeration effect decreases. A stainless steel rod of outer diameter 1/8” turned out to be the optimum insert for the current study. This study also aims at locating the centerline axial stagnation point by analyzing the temperature profile along the centerline of the
vortex tube.

▼ Abstract
In this thesis, the structure and the dynamics of vortices are studied from the standpoint of the hydrodynamical theory of superfluids. In the hydrodynamical theory a superfluid is described by a continuous order parameter field. In the case of superfluid helium-4 this field is a complex-valued function of position and time. However, in superfluid helium-3 the order parameter is a complex-valued 3 × 3 matrix.
The first part of this work consists of studies on structures that appear in the order parameter field, when a vessel filled with superfluid helium-3 in the A phase (3He-A) is rotated in an external magnetic field. Among the most common of these structures are the so-called continuous vortices. They exist in several different forms. In addition to vortices, other possible structures include the vortex sheet of 3He-A that was discovered at the Low Temperature Laboratory of Helsinki University of Technology (currently Aalto University) in late 1993. In this thesis, these structures were studied by finding stationary vortex configurations that minimize the free energy of the superfluid. An algorithm for minimizing the free energy was implemented by writing a computer program. This program was then used to study the structure of a few vortex types, inferred to be the most probable ones. In addition, regular lattices formed by these vortices, including the vortex sheet, were studied. A phase diagram for vortex lattices was constructed by comparing the free energy of various lattice structures as a function of rotational velocity and external magnetic field. The study of vortex structures also lead to a discovery of a new type of vortex in 3He-A, later named the LV3 vortex.
In the second part of the work, the dynamics of vortices was studied using a filament model of vortex motion, which also has its theoretical justification in the hydrodynamical model of superfluids, but where the detailed structure of the vortex core is not relevant. The specific problem under consideration here was the motion of a quantized vortex in a rotating elongated cylinder filled with superfluid, and how the motion of the vortex depends on temperature and the rotational velocity of the vessel. The study of vortex motion was simplified using scaling laws. A new type of scaling law was discovered, which both simplified the specific problem under study, and made the results more general.
In summary, the research in this thesis touched upon two somewhat complementary areas, i.e. the structure of continuous vortices in 3He-A and the dynamics of thin vortex lines, which is more applicable to superfluid 4He or to the B phase of superfluid helium-3 (3He-B). However, these areas complement each other in advancing the general scientific understanding about the properties of superfluids.

▼ The confinement offered by superconducting nanostructures enables the study of the motion of individual Abrikosov vortices in reduced dimensions. At the present time, most superconducting nanostructures are fabricated from deposited films of metals, which are often polycrystalline or amorphous. The realization of a single-crystal nanostructure would provide the opportunity to explore the effects of the electronic band structure. Consider crystalline superconducting nanostructures of NbSe2. Questions such as the how the charge density wave order influences
vortex pinning and the logarithmic
vortex-vortex interaction, as well as how the crystal thickness dependence of the electronic band structure affects intrinsic
vortex properties motivated our efforts to develop techniques to fabricate and measure superconducting nanostructures of 2D crystal NbSe2. Additionally, nanoscale transport devices are relevant to potential future superconducting electronics.
In this dissertation, we begin by presenting a novel technique for the preparation of single-crystal nanostructures prepared from mechanically exfoliated few-layer crystals of NbSe2 using a process combining electron beam lithography and reactive plasma etching. Our technique allows for the preparation of ultra-thin, single-crystal superconducting nanostructures with a desired geometry for the study of
vortex dynamics in extremely confined systems. A primary advantage of transport devices is the ability to directly manipulate individual vortices through the use of an applied current and other parameters.
We first present magnetoresistance measurements on NbSe2 nanowires and show features related to
vortex crossing, trapping, and pinning. The
vortex crossing rate is found to vary non-monotonically with the applied field, which results in non-monotonic magnetoresistance variations in agreement with theoretical calculations in the London approximation. Above the lower critical field, Hc1, the crossing rate is also influenced by vortices trapped by sample boundaries or pinning centers, leading to sample-specific magnetoresistance patterns. We show that the local pinning potential can be modified by intentionally introducing surface adsorbates, making the magnetoresistance pattern a "magneto fingerprint" of the sample-specific configuration of
vortex pinning centers in a superconducting nanowire.
Building upon our work on NbSe2 nanowires, we next focus on NbSe2 nanoloops. The doubly-connected topology of nanoloops presents a unique opportunity for the manipulation of Abrikosov vortices; numerical calculations in the London limit suggest that an Abrikosov
vortex can be trapped in a nanoloop above a critical magnetic field and generate a phase shift in the magnetoresistance oscillations. We measure magnetoresistance oscillations resulting from
vortex crossing events in NbSe2 nanoloops and demonstrate experimentally that the crossing of vortices can be directed at a pair of constrictions in the loop, leading to more pronounced magnetoresistance oscillations than those in a…

▼ The tumbling tip
vortex effect of a reduced-scale, 1 m diameter, four-bladed rotor during hover is studied using
vortex methods, combined with a center of mass analysis approach. Measurements of all three components of the velocity field are acquired using a stereo PIV system synchronized to capture up to 500 degrees of
vortex age, with 10 degree wake age offsets, during hover conditions. The nominal operating condition of the rotor is at a rotational rate of 1520RPM, corresponding to ReC = 248,000 with a chord length of 58.5mm. The rotor is operated with a pitch of 7.2± 0.5 degrees and a CT/sigma of 0.045. The far wake
vortex tumbling phenomenon is captured and described. It is shown that tip vortices from two blades tumble
through approximately 90 degrees of rotation before they coalesce. It is also seen that the constituent parent vortices do not combine to create a stronger daughter
vortex as was previously thought to happen. Instead, the merged
vortex has a lower large-radius circulation than either of its parent vortices. An accurate characterization and prediction of the trajectory of the far wake
vortex tumbling can enhance the
ability to predict and alleviate the resuspension of particles during brownout as well as provide a database for far wake validation of CFD codes.

▼ Merger of vortices is examined experimentally to compare the merger of slender parallel vortices generated coincidentally. It is known that like-sign vortices rotate around a common center of circulation and merger between the vortices may occur under certain conditions. This merger is dependent on the strength of the
vortex circulation, distance of separation between the centers of the two vortices, ReΓ, and vorticity distribution. Quasi-2D experimental data is examined and merger relations are derived. The 2D experiments conducted in a
vortex generator tank uses high aspect ratio rotating paddles. The
vortex merger tank generates slender co-rotating vortices and are examined using PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry). Merger characteristics are compared at centerline, 25% span and 5% span for different circulation strengths. Symmetric and asymmetric mergers are studied and it is found that in both cases, the
vortex pair rotates around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the
vortex pair. Symmetric merger is seen to occur at the center between the two vortices whereas in asymmetric merger the stronger
vortex breaks the weaker
vortex filaments and continues to follow its path. Wall effects seem to have an effect of
vortex braiding and
vortex stretching. Closer to the wall, the merger time increases while the merged
vortex dissipates faster than at the centerline.

▼ This dissertation presents the turbulence of multiphase plumes and tidal vortices by
studying and quantifying coherent structures that affect the dynamics of the flow. The
measurements presented in this dissertation were taken using particle image velocimetry
(PIV). After preprocessing the images and conducting the PIV analysis to get the final
velocity fields, the local swirl strength was used to identify coherent structures (vortices)
in the flow. This dissertation used the identified vortices to quantify the turbulent
properties of the flows.
The mean and turbulent properties of bubble plumes are found to be self-similar
within the measured air flow rates when appropriately nondimensionalized. The timeaveraged
velocity profile was shown to have a Gaussian distribution when
nondimensionalized by the centerline velocity and plume radius. The bubble plumes
were found to have the most energetic vortices along the plume edge and a modulated
turbulent energy spectrum with a slope in the inertial subrange from -7/6 instead of the
classical -5/3.
The mean and turbulent properties of an inertial particle plume are presented,
revealing the time-averaged velocity and vorticity profiles to be self-similar for all cases
when nondimesionalized by the centerline velocity and plume radius. The average
vortex properties were not self-similar for all flow cases with the largest two particles
sizes being self-similar and the smallest particle
vortex properties being similar to
bubble plume data. Despite the difference in
vortex properties, the turbulent energy
spectra in inertial particle plumes followed the same modulation as the bubble plumes.
PIV experiments from the tidal starting-jet vortices detail the influence of a finite
channel length using identified vortice. The results show the trajectory and development
of the tidal starting-jet vortices to be changed by a region of vorticity that develops
inside the channel and is expelled as a
vortex during the ebb tide. This expelled lateral
boundary layer
vortex is shown to move the starting-jet
vortex away from the tidal jet
shear layer thus reducing the input vorticity. When the expelled boundary layer
vortex
strength is 1/5 the starting-jet
vortex the system dynamics change resulting in a deviation
in the starting-jet vortices' trajectory.
This dissertation successfully uses the local swirl strength to quantify the
turbulence of multiphase plumes and tidal starting-jet vortices. Using these results,
engineers will be able to better predict the efficiency of CO2 ocean sequestration and
tidal flushing. Furthermore, the techniques of quantifying coherent structures developed
in this dissertation can be applied to a multitude of turbulent flows.

▼ We present experimental investigations aimed at
characterizing the flow physics associated with strong
fluid-structure interactions that drive large-scale oscillations of
an elastically-supported wing in a uniform airflow. All experiments
are performed using a cyber-physical system in which the structural
characteristics of the system are emulated using a digital
controller that monitors the motion of the structure in real time.
Provided that the formation of the leading-edge
vortex (LEV) plays
an important role in driving large-scale oscillations, much of our
effort has been devoted into characterizing the dynamical
properties of the LEV. Towards this end, we first analyzed the
phase-plane representation of the aeroelastic instability to follow
and deduce from the measured motion and aerodynamic torque the
formation time and separation dynamics of the LEV. The insight
gained from the phase portraits are subsequently confirmed and
directly quantified using 2D Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). We
demonstrate that the LEV stability, formation time and circulation
scale robustly with the characteristic velocity of the feeding
shear layer emanating from the leading edge, and the connection
between this scaling and the concept of optimal
vortex formation
number is discussed. We developed a quasi-steady potential flow
model to elucidate a quantitative connection between the location
and strength of the LEV core and the resulting aerodynamic torque
on the elastic structure. In the final phase of this work, we
implemented tomographic PIV to characterize the
three-dimensionality of the LEV core on 2D and 3D wings, and to
identify important vorticity transport mechanisms responsible for
regulating the LEV growth. Through systematic assessments of
vortex
stability, three-dimensional vorticity dynamics and
vortex energy,
we found that the stability of the LEV can be improved by (i)
increasing the reduced frequency, (ii) moderating the LEV
circulation via the process of vorticity annihilation and (iii)
suppressing the formation of an arch-shaped LEV. We conclude this
study by presenting a unified scaling for
vortex formation on 2D
and 3D pitching wings that effectively accounts for the variations

▼ La thèse présentée dans ce document concerne la caractérisation du comportement d’une hydrolienne à membrane ondulante. Ce dispositif novateur utilise les instabilités de flottement d’une membrane semi-rigide précontrainte dans un écoulement pour capter l’énergie des courants marins. À partir d’une certaine vitesse critique de l’écoulement, une onde se propage le long de la structure, ce qui actionne des convertisseurs linéaires fixés sur celle-ci. Un modèle expérimental à échelle réduite 1/20eme est développé et testé en bassin d’essai. Le système de conversion est simulé par des amortisseurs hydrauliques. Les mesures de trajectoire et d’efforts permettent d’analyser la dynamique de la membrane pour un grand nombre de configurations et d’aboutir à une étude paramétrique. Des conditions réalistes d’écoulement sont étudiées, notamment l’influence de la direction du courant et celle de la houle sur le fonctionnement du système. La caractérisation du sillage est effectuée par mesures de vélocimétrie laser en 2D. Les effets d’échelle sont présentés à travers une comparaison des essais en bassin et en mer. Un modèle analytique et un modèle numérique sont développés et comparés avec les résultats d’expériences. Le modèle analytique linéaire est basé sur la théorie des poutres de Euler-Bernouilli et la théorie des profils minces de Lighthill. Il est résolu dans le domaine fréquentiel et donne de bons résultats en termes de fréquence d’ondulation et de vitesse critique. Le modèle numérique est fondé sur le couplage fort entre un code fluide basé sur la méthode vortex et un code structure utilisant les éléments finis en corotationnel. Ce modèle est validé sur un cas expérimental.
The thesis presented in this document deals with the characterization of the behavior of an undulating membrane tidal energy converter. This kind of device uses the flutter instabilities occurring between a semi-rigid pre-strained membrane and a fluid flow in order to convert the sea currents energy. Above a certain critical flow speed, the structure undulates, thus activating the linear converters fixed on it. In order to study this system, an experimental model is developed and tested in a flume tank. The power conversion system is simulated by hydraulic dampers. The membrane’s dynamics is analyzed in many configurations through trajectory and force measurements, and leads to a parametric study. More realistic flow conditions are also studied, such as the impact of current direction influence and the influence of surface waves on the behavior of the system. Wake characterization is carried out with two-dimensional PIV measurements. Scale effects and confinement are also studied through a comparison with a bigger scale prototype tested in tank and at sea.In addition to the experimental study, an analytical model and a numerical model are developed and compared with experiments. The linear analytical model is based on Euler-Bernouilli’s beam theory and on Lighthill’s slender body theory. It is solved in the frequency domain and gives good…

▼ The vortex motion in type-II superconductors strongly limits their critical current. Currently, ordered arrays of pinning centers in the superconductor are fabricated by lithographic process, which is very expensive and time consuming. In this work, we developed the so-called "template approach", as a simple and low-cost alternative way to create large-area ordered arrays of pinning centers. This approach uses nanoporous alumina templates in order to artificially imprint a dense periodic lattice of defects into a thin superconducting film.
On the one hand, a regular array of defects was created in a superconducting film by depositing it onto either the “front face” (periodic pore arrangement) or the “rear face” (array of ordered bumps at the barrier layer) of the porous alumina. Taking advantage of the two opposite faces of the template and of various deposition techniques we introduced three different lattices of pinning centers in NbN and Nb superconducting thin films. Using electrical transport measurement, we investigated the motion and stability of these diverse configurations of vortex lattices. Pronounced high magnetic field matching effects were observed in these superconducting films.
The second approach is based on the magnetic pinning of the vortices, i.e. the magnetic interaction between the local field of the vortices and the stray magnetic field of nanoscale ferromagnets. More precisely, we studied the interaction between a superconducting thin film and a highly ordered array of Ni nanowires obtained by electrodeposition into the pores of the porous template. Enhanced pinning and matching effects, as well as pronounced hysteretic behavior and tunability of the superconducting properties were observed at low fields.

▼ Vortex Generators (VGs) are one of the most commonly used passive flow control devices. Recent studies have shown that it is beneficial to use sub-boundary layer
vortex generators (SBVGs). The height of these generators varies between 10% - 50% of the boundary layer thickness. However, the reduced height causes the induced vortices to be substantially weaker. Therefore, using SBVG is beneficial only when the regions of flow separation are well defined. To better understand and comprehensively predict the effectiveness of these devices for flow control over a range of operating conditions, two different SBVG profile: rectangular
vortex generators (RVGs) and triangular
vortex generators (TVGs) are analysed when subjected to a laminar boundary layer. The topics of interest are instantaneous flow, mean flow, far-field acoustic properties and influence of the angle of attack on the VG vane. The results emphasise the unsteady nature of the induced vortices for both the VG profiles. For RVGs, mean flow visualisation indicates the presence of local re-circulation zones in between the vanes with an increase in angle of attack. Additionally, secondary vortices are noted for both the VGs. These secondary vortices significantly influence the properties of the primary vortices thereby, suggesting that, effectively managing the secondary vortices using suitable design changes to VG profile could be one of the possible ways to accomplish better flow control.

▼ In some situations, concentrated vorticity which forms a vortical flow is involved in the inflow of a propeller. The impingement of the vortex on the propeller has several detrimental effects, e.g., foreign object damage during ground operation, impact on the propeller performance, unsteady loading on the blade, and tonal noise generation. The research presented in this report is conducted for the concern of the effects of the interaction between inflow vortex and propeller, in terms of vortex response to the propeller and vortex impact on the aerodynamic performance of the propeller. The impact of impinging vortex on the propeller is studied by experimental and numerical methods. The variation of the propeller performance caused by the impingement of vortex is dependent on the relatively rotational direction of the vortex and the propeller. For the counter-rotating case, the thrust and torque coefficients are increased by the vortex impingement; and vice versa for the co-rotating case. The variations of the thrust and torque coefficients are proportional to the vortex strength. And it becomes more significant as the radial impingement position moves inwards and the advance ratio increases. However, the impingement of vortex does not evidently affects the efficiency of the propeller. The response of vortex to the propeller is investigated by PIV measurement. The variation of vortex behaviors is dependent on the phase angle of the propeller blade. At the phase angles when the wake of the blade is away from the impinging vortex, the vortex core circulation is independent from the impact of propeller. Due to the contraction of the stream tube caused by the propeller suction, the vortex core radius observed in the measurement plane downstream the propeller is smaller than that in the flow field upstream, and the magnitude of vortex vorticity and the maximum tangential velocity becomes larger. At the phase angle when the vortex core coincides with the propeller blade wake vortices, characteristics of the impinging vortex are dependent on the sign of the vorticity of the impinging vortex and the blade wake. For the case that the impinging vortex and the blade wake have the opposite sign of vorticity, the impinging vortex and the blade wake break each other into fractions with smaller core radius and circulation; for the case with the same sign of vorticity, they merge together, forming a new pattern with higher magnitude of vorticity.

▼ The strongest stratospheric circulation in the Southern Hemisphere is the Antarctic Circumpolar
Vortex (ACV) which forms each winter and spring as a zone of westerly winds surrounding Antarctica, presenting a barrier to transport of air masses between middle and high-latitudes. This barrier contributes to stratospheric temperatures above the polar region dropping sufficiently low in spring to allow for the processes leading to ozone destruction. Unfortunately, the ACV is generally not well simulated in Global Climate Models (GCMs), and this presents a challenge for model accuracy and projections in the face of a changing climate and a recovering ozone hole.
In this research, an assessment is made of the performance of a range of mixing metrics in representing the ACV based on reanalyses, including: Effective Diffusivity, Contour Crossing, the Lagrangian function M, and Meridional Impermeability. It is shown that Meridional Impermeability – which provides a measure of the strength of the meridional mixing barrier as a function of potential vorticity (PV) gradient and wind-speed – acts as a useful proxy for more complex metrics. In addition, Meridional Impermeability displays a well-defined
vortex profile across equivalent latitude, which is not seen to the same degree in the other metrics assessed.
Representation of the ACV is further compared between climate models and reanalyses based on Meridional Impermeability. It is shown that while climate models have improved in their representation of the
vortex barrier over time, there are still significant discrepancies between models and reanalyses. One cause of these discrepancies may result from the use of prescribed ozone fields rather than interactive ozone chemistry. This is further examined by comparing Chemistry Climate Model (CCM) simulations using interactive ozone chemistry, with those using prescribed ozone at either 3-D (i.e., height, latitude and longitude) or 2-D (i.e., height, latitude) dimensionality.
Considerable improvement in the representation of the ACV can be achieved by shifting from 2-D to 3-D prescribed ozone fields, and interactive ozone chemistry further improves its representation. However, discrepancies in model representation of the ACV still remain. Previous researchers have also attributed discrepancies in model representation of the polar vortices to the model resolution, and the parameterization of gravity waves at the sub-grid scale – these factors are considered to contribute to the discrepancies found in simulations undertaken here also.
The results of this research are expected to provide guidance to improve the representation of
vortex processes in climate modelling.

▼ When a liquid drains through a hole in a container, a vortex may form between the surface and the drainage hole. An interesting phenomenon occurs in the presence of two drainage holes. Only one vortex forms, while the other hole will mostly drain as sink flow. In addition, the vortex can switch between one hole and the other with regular periodicity. The primary goal of this study is to measure this periodicity under varying conditions (height of water in the container, diameter of the drainage holes, and distance between drainage holes). Additionally, a study concerning the volume flow rates of vortical vs. sink flow out of the drainage holes was conducted. In the case of two drainage holes, when the height of the water was decreased in the container, the diameter of drainage holes decreased, or the distance between drainage holes was increased, the switching period was shown to decrease.

▼ Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is a dynamic phenomenon that can occur when there is fluid flow past a bluff body with flexibility. Over time, VIV can cause fatigue damage, so it may be desirable to suppress these vibrations. It is important to understand how the system behaves when trying to control vibrations; a reduced order model may be an effective way to study the system dynamics. Developing a data driven model from simulation and/or experimental results can be difficult, but there are existing phenomenological models that attempt to describe VIV, several of which will be explored in this thesis. These models consist of a structural equation representing a simple sprung bluff body coupled to a wake equation representing the effects of the surrounding fluid on the oscillator; the latter is generally a nonlinear oscillator exhibiting limit cycle behavior. The coupling, structural equation, and type of nonlinearity in the wake equation vary between different models, and the effects of these differences will be explored. The parameters of these equations must be identified, and then results from these models will be compared with the results obtained from a high fidelity CFD simulation to determine the relative quality of each reduced order model. The deficiencies of each model and the effects they produce will also be explored. Finally, the most important traits of each reduced order model will be identified, and, finally, the best reduced order model, with specific parameter values, will be presented.

vortex generator is presented, that can generate controlled ring-
vortex injections into a pipe flow. The performance of the generator and the coherence of its structures is tested by applying a dye visualisation method. Furthermore, iso-contour plots of the 3D velocity field, obtained from Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (SPIV) data, reveal that the injection develops into a hairpin- or ring-
vortex with hairpin packets. In future applications, this
vortex generator will be used to study the interaction between the controlled ring-
vortex structures and the turbulent structures in the pipe, which will act as a model for scale interactions in turbulence.

▼ A new method is developed for assessing the risk of undesirable
vortex formation at pump intakes. The method addresses industry demand for a
vortex classification system inferred from CFD modelling results. A new
vortex risk index is the key result of this research; the numerical value of the index is equivalent to the
vortex classification in ANSI/HI-9.8 (2012) standard for interpretation of results of physical modelling test results. The main difference between the present and preceding research is that instead of validating a CFD model that simulates a
vortex with some level of accuracy, the focus is on:(i) finding metrics that distinguish acceptable from unacceptable vortices in single-phase CFD models; and(ii) proposing a generalised model setup for intake CFD modelling across different industrial scales.This research was conducted in four parts: • 42 laboratory experiments were conducted to produce all 6
vortex types identified in ANSI/HI-9.8 (2012); • a new two-phase CFD model of air-core vortices was developed, however the computational demands and time to obtain an unsteady solution, render it impractical for current engineering practice,• 42 single-phase CFD models were run to simulate the experimental tests; and • laboratory results, two sets of external prototype data, and CFD results were processed and a new
vortex risk index (To) produced for CFD modelling results.The main research results were:• from the physical experiments, a new scaled submergence Froude number (FSS) was produced indicating that when FSS > 0.13 an air-core
vortex will form, but no major
vortex expected when FSS < 0.084.• Since any remedial measures not involving a change in submergence do not produce a change in FSS, a parameter capable of detecting the change is required, and from single-phase CFD modelling results, a new
vortex risk index (To) is developed and shown to correlate strongly with
vortex strength and type. Three different risk zones for the formation of vortices are defined based on To, to assess the vortices observed in CFD modelling. If To <1.27 there is a low risk of
vortex formation, but if To >3.45 then the risk of
vortex formation is high, and anti-
vortex measures need to be implemented.

▼ A pressurized vortex tube is used to generate streamwise vortices in a wind tunnel and the resulting flow behavior is analyzed. The apparatus is intended to verify computational data from the AFRL by offering a method of conducting real-world counterpart experiments. The apparatus design process and other considered approaches are discussed. The vortex tube is operated at pressures of 20, 30 and 40 psi while the wind tunnel is operated at 3, 5, 10 and 20% capacity. Flow measurements are performed using particle image velocimetry to observe vortices and freestream interactions from which velocity and vorticity data is comparatively analyzed. Results indicate that vortex velocity greater than freestream flow velocity is a primary factor in maintaining vortex structures further downstream, while increased supply pressure and reduced freestream velocity also reduce vortex dissipation rate. A brief analysis of the vortex interaction with a downstream airfoil is presented to support future work.

▼ Computational simulations of a perturbed vortex ring
are performed to recreate and understand the instability seen in
impacting water droplet experiments. Three initial conditions are
tried to respectively trigger a Widnall instability, a Rayleigh
centrifugal instability, and a vortex breakdown instability.
Simulations with a perturbed solitary ring result in an instability
similar to that seen experimentally. Waviness of the core which
would be expected from a Widnall instability is not visible. Adding
an opposite-signed secondary vortex ring or an image vortex ring to
the initial conditions does not appear to significantly change the
instability from what is seen with a solitary ring. This suggests
that a Rayleigh centrifugal instability or a vortex breakdown
instability are not likely at work, though tests are not
conclusive. Elliptical streamlines are visible in the core of the
solitary ring at early times, suggesting that an elliptic
instability may be the source of the experimental
instability.

▼ Vortical structures are regarded as the dominant organized patterns in wall
turbulence. They play a key role in physical phenomena of practical importance such as
energy and momentum transport, combustion, mixing, and noise and drag production.
Considerable investigations have been performed in drag and noise phenomena studies,
with a main purpose of controlling and reducing them. Various techniques to control the
drag reduction have been studied for over last five decades; however, the detailed
understanding of the drag reduction mechanism is still lacking. Vortices play an
important role in turbulence structure. Nevertheless, the identification of vortices is still
unclear, not even a universal definition of a
vortex is accepted.
In the present study, several
vortex feature extraction schemes are implemented.
The methods are applied to analyze instantaneous two-dimensional velocity fields
obtained by particle tracking Velocimetry (PTV) measurements of a turbulent channel
flow with and without microbubble injection within the boundary layer. Microbubble
injection is one of the drag reduction techniques, first studied in early 1970s, that has
undergone extensive research in past years, and the generated information has aided into drag reduction understanding.
As a general rule,
vortex extraction methods can be either a simple visualization
scheme or more sophisticated identification tools. The Reynolds decomposition and its
variants are suitable due to their capacity to mark vortices advecting at different
velocities. In the case of identification techniques, which yield a scalar field calculated
from either the velocity vector field or the velocity gradient tensor, both the modified
swirling strength Λci or the λ2 criteria were found to be well suited for
vortex
identification.

▼ We study the interaction between superconductors and ferromagnets in two
systems: a ferromagnet-superconductor bilayer, and a thin superconducting film with
a periodic array of magnetic dots upon it, with spontaneous vortices appearing in the
systems. We show that the superconducting phase transition is of the first order in a
ferromagnet-superconductor bilayer and of the second order in the superconducting
film with a periodic array of magnetic dots upon it. The shift of the transition
temperature, (delta)Tc, due to the presence of a ferromagnetic layer may be positive or
negative in the ferromagnet-superconductor bilayer and is always negative in the
superconducting film with a periodic array of magnetic dots upon it. The dependence
of (delta)Tc on geometrical factors and the external magneticfield is found. The theory
is extended to multilayer structures. Next, we study the anisotropy dependence of
the critical current in a thin superconducting film with a periodic array of magnetic
dots with magnetization perpendicular to the film with spontaneous vortices and
antivortices. The phase diagrams for the appearance of spontaneous vortices and
antivortices are given for the square arrays of circular and square F dots respectively
when the direction of the magnetization is parallel to the superconducting film.

▼ This thesis can be divided into two primary works, examining the effects of uniform and non-uniform pinning arrays of antidots in YBCO thin films, and optimising the deposition of Nb thin films. The ultimate goal was compare the poorly investigated effect of pinning arrays of large antidots in Nb and YBCO thin films, which have different intrinsic pinning properties and different vortex sizes.
The non-uniform graded pinning arrays etched into YBCO thin films such as graded, inverted and evenly spaced rings of triangular antidots indicated the success of novel artificial pinning arrays of large antidots could come from the suppression of interstitial flux channels between the edge of the film and the centre, and from some suppression of flux hopping. However, the success of these non-uniform arrays may also be attributed to the formation of a 'vortex vacuum' if vortices penetrate the thin film in a non-Bean like flux distribution because of the antidot array. This work is now published in Annalen der Physik in 2017 (J. George, et al., Ann. Phys. (Berlin), 1600283 (2017) / DOI 10.1002/andp.201600283).
To begin investigations into Nb, the first step was optimise the process of deposition to reliably produce consistent thin films, and then start investigating pinning arrays. Despite the obstructions in this stage it was determined that in order to deposit films via DC Magnetron Sputtering, the sputtering chamber needs to be exceedingly clean, and free from contaminants, and a deposition temperature of 350C strikes an ideal balance between vortex pinning and current transparency. Unfortunately the system from Mantis Deposition Systems continues to remain excessively fragile and prone to

▼ By generalizing the method of contour dynamics to the quasigeostrophic two
layer model, we have proposed and solved a number of fundamental problems in
the dynamics of rotating and stratified vorticity fields. A variety of rotating and
translating potential vorticity equilibria (V-states) in one and two layers have been
obtained, shedding new light on potential vorticity dynamics in the geostrophic
context. In particular,the equivalent barotropic model is shown to be a singular limit
of the two-layer model for scales large compared to the radius of deformation.
The question of coalescence of two vortices in the same layer (merger) and·
in different layers (alignment) is studied in detail. Critical initial separation
distances for coalescence are numerically established as functions of the radius of
deformation and the relative thickness of the layers at rest. The connection
between coalescence and the existence of stable rotating doubly-connected V-states
is shown to be an illuminating generalization of the Euler results.
The question of filamentation of two-dimensional vorticity interfaces is
addressed from a new geometrical perspective. The analysis of the topology of the
streamfunction in a frame of reference rotating with the instantaneous angular
velocity of the vorticity distribution (the corotating frame) is shown to yield new
powerful insights on the nonlinear evolution of the vorticity field. In particular, the
presence of hyperbolic (critical) points of the corotating streamfunction that come in
contact with the vorticity interface is found to be directly responsible for the
generation of filaments.
The importance ofthe position of the critical points of the comoving
streamfunction is found to generalize to the two-layer quasigeostrophic context.
They are shown to play the crucial role in determining the limits, in parameter
space, on the existence of a number of two-layer rotating and translating potential
vorticity equilibria.

▼ Recent experiments at the University of Arizona have demonstrated superb control and imaging of flattened superfluids revealing a rich landscape of
vortex dynamics.
Vortex dipoles have been created and their dynamics observed [Neely et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 160410 (2010)], and highly charged persistent currents have been formed through a clever combination of stirring and dissipation [T. W. Neely, PhD thesis, (2010)]. Many ultra-cold gas systems, including these, are in a regime that we may characterize as quasi-equilibrium: despite some external forcing, a large fraction of the gas remains in thermal equilibrium. In this thesis we use the stochastic projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation (SPGPE) to make quantitative predictions of the quasi-equilibrium Bose gas.
We quantitatively compare the SPGPE with experiment by modeling the persistent current formation experiment performed at the University of Arizona [T. W. Neely, PhD thesis, (2010)]. We determine all SPGPE parameters for the toroidal system prior to simulation, enabling quantitative modeling of the experiment with no fitting parameters, giving a true test of the SPGPE theory. We find the SPGPE gives quantitative agreement with experiment, accurately predicting the size of the persistent current as well as the decay time of the vortices. We also observe the crucial role that thermal fluctuations have on enabling this agreement, showing the comprehensive SPGPE treatment is necessary to make quantitatively accurate calculations of quasi-equilibrium systems. This is the first quantitative agreement with experimental observations of
vortex dynamics obtained with a theory of dissipation from first principles using no fitting parameters.
We then systematically study the Kelvin mode excitations on a
vortex line in a three dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate using the SPGPE. We give a quantitative measure of the magnitude of
vortex bending caused by the activation of Kelvin modes, and find that
vortex bending can be suppressed by tightening the confinement along the direction of the
vortex line. This leads to a strong suppression of the
vortex decay rate as the system enters a regime of two-dimensional
vortex dynamics, characterized by a critical oblateness.
In our final application of the SPGPE we simulate the decay of a
vortex dipole. We model a recent experiment of Neely et al. [Neely et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 160410 (2010)], finding the SPGPE predicts a dipole lifetime consistent with experimental observations. We also show the experiment lies in the two-dimensional regime of
vortex dynamics, validating our critical oblateness calculation.

▼ Cette thèse est dédiée aux effets de compétition entre
le champ magnétique appliqué et la géométrie du pavage de réseaux
de jonctions Josephson dans le cas particulier d'un pavage T3
("dice"). Il s'agit en fait de l'étude d'un système modèle dans des
conditions réelles. Le comportement des réseaux de jonctions
classiques a été étudié en fonction du champ magnétique appliqué,
de la température et de la fréquence avec laquelle le système est
excité. Les propriétés de transport des réseaux de jonctions
Josephson réalisées par effet de proximité sont mises en évidence
par des mesures de l'impédance de surface effectuées au moyen d'une
technique inductive qui distingue les travaux de recherche menés au
sein du groupe. Selon la valeur du champ magnétique appliqué, il
sera impossible pour le réseau de jonctions de se placer dans un
minimum absolu d'énergie. Le système doit alors trouver un
compromis entre les différentes contraintes liées à la fois au
champ magnétique appliqué et à la géométrie du réseau. C'est dans
une telle situation que le système est dit frustré. Le comportement
est radicalement différent selon l'état de frustration, i.e. selon
le champ magnétique appliqué. La particularité du pavage T3,
composé de losanges orientés selon trois directions différentes, se
manifeste lorsque le champ appliqué est tel que chaque losange du
réseau est traversé par un demi quantum de flux. Dans ce cas la
cohérence de phase, et par conséquent la supraconductivité, dans
l'échantillon est presque supprimée et la dissipation est plus
importante que pour n'importe quelle autre valeur de champ
magnétique. Une comparaison entre cet état dit totalement frustré
et un état qui au contraire présente une forte cohérence de phase a
permis de révéler une riche variété de phénomènes. Les propriétés
liées au modèle de mécanique statistique étudié, le modèle "XY",
appliqué à cette géométrie particulière permettent de comprendre
une partie seulement des observations. Il a donc été nécessaire
d'aller au-delà du système modèle et pour la première fois les
effets d'écrantage magnétique provenant du réseau de jonctions ont
été pris en compte afin de comprendre le comportement critique. Ces
effets magnétiques peuvent même être dominants dans la région
critique du modèle statistique et en changer le comportement, comme
dans le cas de l'état totalement frustré. Par ailleurs les
observations expérimentales montrent à basse température une
dynamique similaire pour plusieurs états de frustration et pour
différentes géométries du pavage. Ces similitudes reflètent la
prédominance de paramètres intrinsèques au type de réseaux de
jonctions étudié et à leur procédé de fabrication. Cette thèse
répond à plusieurs interrogations surgies à la suite de travaux
antérieurs, notamment sur le comportement critique de l'état
totalement frustré. A son tour ce travail laisse quelques questions
ouvertes concernant les mécanismes qui ont majeure influence sur la
dynamique des
vortex et plus généralement des défauts topologiques
dans les réseaux de jonctions Josephson…

▼ Axial flow generated by turbulence on an initially two-dimensional
vortex column, the Lamb-Oseen
vortex, is studied theoretically and by direct numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. Azimuthally wrapped filaments of opposite circulations, discussed for the case of two oppositely oriented filaments, advect radially in opposite directions, leading to radial separation of the filaments and net axial flow on the
vortex axis. Axial velocity is found to grow as t^(5/2) from the simulation results, closely matching the analytically determined growth rate. Derivation of the axial flow magnitude predicts the onset of instability due to axial flow via the q (≡peak azimuthal velocity/peak axial velocity) criterion. Simulation results show (limited) renewed growth when q decreases below the unstable limit, likely dominating the previously discussed parent-offspring hairpin
vortex mechanism for regenerative growth and suggesting possible breakup of the initially normal mode stable
vortex at higher
vortex Reynolds number due to ambient turbulence.
