A cell, whose spatial extent is small compared with a surrounding
flow, can develop inside a vortex. Such cells, often referred to as
vortex breakdown bubbles, provide stable and clean flame in
combustion chambers; they also reduce the lift force of delta
wings. This book analyzes cells in slow and fast, one- and
two-fluid flows and describes the mechanisms of cell generation:
(a) minimal energy dissipation, (b) competing forces, (c) jet
entrainment, and (d) swirl decay. The book explains the vortex
breakdown appearance, discusses its features, and indicates means
of its control. Written in acceptable, non-math-heavy format, it
stands to be a useful learning tool for engineers working with
combustion chambers, chemical and biological reactors, and
delta-wing designs.
