How can vorticity be produced in irrotationally forced flows?

Fabio Del Sordo, Axel Brandenburg

A spherical hydrodynamical expansion flow can be described as the gradient of a potential. In that case no vorticity should be produced, but several additional mechanisms can drive…

Vorticity from irrotationally forced flow

Fabio Del Sordo, Axel Brandenburg

In the interstellar medium the turbulence is believed to be forced mostly through supernova explosions. In a first approximation these flows can be written as a gradient of a poten…
