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.

Evaluation of a novel curved vortex exhaust system for pollutant removal

TL;DR: In this article, a novel curved vortex exhaust system (CVES) was proposed as an alternative for capturing pollutants when a canopy hood cannot be used. And the authors investigated the relationship between the supply/exhaust flow ratio and size of the effective pollution source area with different exhaust outlet flow rates.

A model equation for the joint distribution of the length and velocity difference of streamline segments in turbulent flows

TL;DR: In this article, a model for the joint probability density function (jpdf) of streamline segments is proposed, based on a previously formulated model of the marginal pdf of the arclength, P(l), which contains terms that account for slow changes as well as fast changes of streamlines segments.
