Combustion in swirling flows: A review
Nicholas Syred,János M. Beér +1 more
TL;DR: The main effects of swirl are to improve flame stability as a result of the formation of toroidal recirculation zones and to reduce combustion lengths by producing high rates of entrainment of the ambient fluid and fast mixing as discussed by the authors.

On stationary and travelling vortex breakdowns
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe some experiments in swirling flows in a diverging cylindrical tube in which various types of vortex breakdowns were observed, viz. mild (double helix) breakdown, spiral breakdown, and axisymmetric breakdown.

Vortex breakdown: Observations and explanations
TL;DR: A review of vortex breakdown research can be found in this paper, where the authors give an overview of the current level of understanding and assess, in the light of the available experimental evidence, the various theoretical proposals which have been made over the years.

Turbulence and waves in a rotating tank
TL;DR: A turbulent field is produced with an oscillating grid in a deep, rotating tank as discussed by the authors, which consists of concentrated vortices having axes approximately parallel to the rotation axis, and extending throughout the depth of the fluid above the turbulent Ekman layer.
