TLDR
In this paper, the geometry of solution trajectories for three first-order coupled linear differential equations can be related and classified using three matrix invariants for elementary three-dimensional flow patterns defined by instantaneous streamlines for flow at and away from no slip boundaries for both compressible and incompressible flow.Abstract:
The geometry of solution trajectories for three first‐order coupled linear differential equations can be related and classified using three matrix invariants. This provides a generalized approach to the classification of elementary three‐dimensional flow patterns defined by instantaneous streamlines for flow at and away from no‐slip boundaries for both compressible and incompressible flow. Although the attention of this paper is on the velocity field and its associated deformation tensor, the results are valid for any smooth three‐dimensional vector field. For example, there may be situations where it is appropriate to work in terms of the vorticity field or pressure gradient field. In any case, it is expected that the results presented here will be of use in the interpretation of complex flow field data.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a novel rifled nozzle was installed behind a conventional combustion exhauster to improve combustion efficiency, and the flow characteristics behind the nozzles (rifled and unrifled) were visualized and detected using the smoke-wire flow visualization, particle image velocimetry, and hot-wire anemometry.

Lamination and mixing in three fundamental flow sequences driven by electromagnetic body forces.
TL;DR: The cat's eyes flip sequence has higher lamination, stretching, and mixing rates than the tendril and whorl and the blinking vortex sequences, and shows that bakerlike in situ mixers can be conceived by dynamically controlling a pair of local jets and by integrating lamination during stirring stages with persistent geometries.
