Numerical analysis of single-vortex/free-surface interaction

The interaction of a single Lamb vortex with a free surface is analyzed numerically through the use of a finite-difference technique. The individual effects of gravity, viscosity, and surface tension are investigated within the range of the applicability of the phenomenon and the code used. The vort...
