Potential vorticity — (PV) is a quantity which is proportional to the dot product of vorticity and stratification that, following a parcel of air or water, can only be changed by diabatic or frictional processes. It is a useful concept for understanding the generation … Wikipedia
Vorticity — is a mathematical concept used in fluid dynamics. It can be related to the amount of circulation or rotation (or more strictly, the local angular rate of rotation) in a fluid.Clancy, L.J., Aerodynamics , Section 7.11] The average vorticity zeta… … Wikipedia
Potential flow — streamlines around a NACA 0012 airfoil at 11° angle of attack, with upper and lower streamtubes identified. In fluid dynamics, potential flow describes the velocity field as the gradient of a scalar function: the velocity potential. As a result,… … Wikipedia
