Letter: Modified normalized Rortex/vortex identification method

Fluid Dynamics 2019-07-24 v1

Abstract

In this paper, a modified normalized Rortex/vortex identification method named Omega_R is presented to improve the original Omega_R method and cure the bulging phenomenon on the iso-surfaces caused by the original Omega_R method. Detailed mathematical explanations and the relationship with the Q criterion are described. In addition, the new developed formula does not require two original coordinate rotations, and the calculation is greatly simplified. The numerical results are demonstrated to show the effectiveness of the new modified normalized Rortex/vortex identification method.
