wing tip vortex
1wing-tip vortices — An area of extreme turbulence below an aircraft in flight caused by the high pressure below the wing spilling over the wing tip into low pressure on top of the wing producing a tight spiral, or a vortex of air. Wing tip vortices …
2Wing shape optimization — is a software implementation of shape optimization primarily used for aircraft design. This allows for engineers to produce more efficient and cheaper aircraft designs.HistoryShape optimization, as a software process and tool, first appeared as… …

6Lamb–Oseen vortex — In fluid dynamics, the Lamb–Oseen vortex models a line vortex that decays due to viscosity. This vortex is named after Horace Lamb and Carl Wilhelm Oseen.[1] The mathematical model for the flow velocity in the circumferential θ–direction in the… …
7Vortex — A vortex (pl. vortices ) is a spinning, often turbulent, flow of fluid. Any spiral motion with closed streamlines is vortex flow. The motion of the fluid swirling rapidly around a center is called a vortex. The speed and rate of rotation of the… …
