A vortex sheet / point vortex dipole


Abstract eng:
Few steady (weak) solutions of the 2D Euler equations involving vortex sheets are known. In this paper a distribution of vorticity is described analytically, consisting of one point vortex and one vortex sheet, that is an equilibrium in a uniformly translating frame. It can be considered a partial nonlocal desingularization of the +/- point vortex dipole. The vortex sheet is found as the limiting distribution of zeroes of a normalized modified Bessel function of the second kind, and can be described as the image under a conformal mapping of one half of the unit circle. The method used to find the solution, a two-step application of the “method of polynomials,” may be more widely applicable.
