A general classification of three-dimensional flow fields
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

Parallel Vectors Criteria for Unsteady Flow Vortices
TL;DR: This paper presents two extensions of the parallel-vectors-based vortex extraction criteria to the time-dependent domain and shows the improvements of feature-based flow visualization in comparison to the steady versions of this extraction algorithm both in the context of a high-resolution data set.

Gravitational Radiation from Nonaxisymmetric Spherical Couette Flow in a Neutron Star
TL;DR: In this paper, the signal-to-noise ratio for a coherent, 108 s integration with LIGO II scales as 6.5[Ω*/(104 rad s-1)]7/2 for a star at 1 kpc with angular velocity Ω*, this should be regarded as a lower limit: it excludes pressure fluctuations, herringbone flows, Stuart vortices, and fully developed turbulence.
