Streamwise fluctuations of vortex breakdown at high Reynolds numbers

This thesis deals with the characterization of the dependence on the flow geometry of the streamwise fluctuations of the stagnation point of vortex breakdown in axisymmetric tubes and over delta wing aircraft. The statistical analysis presented herein shows that in an axisymmetric tube the 'dar...
