Abstract

The physical aspects, the mathematical modeling, the development and application of computational methods for the simulation of vertical flows are described. The high-Reynolds number vortex flows considered are assumed to be steady, sub-critical and such that the structure of the flow is well-ordered and consists of thin shear layers and slender vortex cores embedded in otherwise irrotatlonal flow. The applications considered are vortex wakes and the flow about three-dimensional (slender) configurations with the flow separating from known separation lines, mostly the sharp leading edges.
