Vortex dynamics in a 2-dimensional starting jet

Experimental studies of the evolution of a two-dimensional vortex pair induced by a starting jet is carried out. The dynamics of the flow is computed in detail and its recalibrated data is studied in detail. Based on the experimental data, we can analyze the pinch-off of the vortex flow. The result...
