Summary

Potential VW Sub-Project: Lamb Vector and its Divergence functionObject.

Lamb vector is the cross-product of vorticity and velocity.

The motivation to do so stems from the close connection between the Lamb vector divergence and the motions in a flow, especially those instantaneous motions in turbulent flows, having a distinctively high capacity to effect a time rate of change of momentum, and generate forces such as drag.

Resolved bugs (If applicable)

N/A

Details of new models (If applicable)

Verification, hence pictures, will be provided based on the plane channel flow cases reported the journal paper below:

The Lamb vector divergence in Navier–Stokes flows, J. Fluid Mech. (2008), vol. 610, pp. 261–284., doi:10.1017/S0022112008002760O

Risks

Not that I know of.
