[2] : 369 Wingtip vortices are sometimes named trailing or lift-induced vortices because they also occur at points other than at the wing tips.
Visualisation of the vortex street behind a circular cylinder in air; the flow is made visible through release of glycerol vapour in the air near the cylinder. In fluid dynamics, a Kármán vortex street (or a von Kármán vortex street) is a repeating pattern of swirling vortices, caused by a process known as vortex shedding, which is responsible for the unsteady separation of flow of a fluid ...
Vortex breaker. A vortex breaker is a device used in engineering to stop the formation of a vortex when a fluid ( liquid or gas) is drained from a vessel such as a tank or vapor–liquid separator.
