Velocity field within a vortex ring with a large elliptical cross section
T. S. Morton
The velocity field within a steady toroidal vortex is found for arbitrary mean core radius and section ellipticity. The problem is solved by transforming to coordinates that define…
A Wind Turbine Efficiency Limit Higher than the Lanchester (Betz) Limit
Thad S. Morton
A generalized actuator-disk analysis is developed that retains both the axial and tangential velocity components of the flow through the blade passage. Unlike the classical one-dim…
A simplification of the vorticity equation and an extension of the vorticity persistence theorem to three dimensions
T. S. Morton
It has been known for more than a century that in two-dimensional (planar) Euler flow, vorticity is conserved along streamlines. In three-dimensions, however, no such result has be…
An estimate of the circulation generated by a bluff body
T. S. Morton
A loss in circulation is sometimes cited in connection with bluff-body wakes as a result of comparing the circulation actually observed downstream with a well-known theoretical est…
A correlation between drag and an integral property of the wake
T. S. Morton
An integral quantity is presented that relates the wake of a body in nominally two-dimensional flow to its drag, for Reynolds numbers ranging from 9,000 to 144,000. It is defined a…
