Close interactions of 3-D vortex tubes
Abstract
The motivation for studying close vortex interactions is briefly discussed in the light of turbulence and coherent structures. Particular attention is given to the interaction known as reconnection. Two reconnection mechanisms are discussed. One is annihilation of vorticity by cross-diffusion, the other is an inviscid head-tail formation. At intermediate Reynolds numbers both mechanisms are operating.
