ABSTRACTThe model of single vortex escape from extended linear defect and subsequent vortex dynamics under the Lorentz force action in a rather thick (d > 2λ) 3D anisotropic superconductor is developed. We consider the case of parallel c-oriented linear defects as well as the case of equidistant linear row of such kind of defects, which represents the dislocation model of low-angle [001] tilt grain boundary in HTS films and bicrystals. The suggested model based on the classical mechanics approach allows to describe behavior of an elastic vortex string in the potential well of linear defect and under the action of Lorentz force on its end within the Meissner current carrying layer and to determine the depinning critical current density at low magnetic fields and temperatures.

The understanding of the vortex formation process is currently driving a novel attempt to evaluate the performance of fluid dynamics in biological systems. The concept of formation time, developed for axially symmetric orifices, is here studied in two-dimensional flows for the generation of vortex pairs. The early stage of the formation process is studied with the single vortex model in the inviscid limit. Within this framework, the equation can be written in a universal form in terms of the formation time. The single vortex model properly represents the initial circular spiralling vortex sheet and its acceleration for self-induced motion. Then, an analysis is performed by numerical simulation of the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations to cope with the spatially extended vortex structure. The results do not show the pinch-off phenomenon previously reported for vortex rings. The two-dimensional vortex pair tends to a stably growing structure such that, while it translates and extends longitudinally, it remains connected to the sharp edge by a shear layer whose velocity is always about twice that of the leading vortex. At larger values of the Reynolds number the instability of the shear layer develops small-scale vortices capable of destabilizing the coherent vortex growth. The absence of a critical formation number for two-dimensional vortex pairs suggests further considerations for the development of concepts of optimal vortex formation from orifices with variable curvature or of a tapered shape.

As a contribution to the breakdown phenomenon of vortices in a two-dimensional free boundary layer, this paper deals with the question whether a single cylindrical (i.e. two-dimensional) vortex can become unstable. For this reason a single vortex, as it occurs in a free boundary layer, is approximated by an axisymmetrical vortex model. The inviscid stability theory of rotating fluids is then applied to this vortex model. By general stability criteria it was found that a vortex consisting of vorticity of one sign only is stable according to the Rayleigh criterion, but, if the vorticity has an extremum value outside the axis, may become unstable with respect to cylindrical disturbances. Furthermore, stability calculations for three special types of vortex were performed. It was found that they were more unstable with respect to cylindrical disturbances than to three-dimensional ones.
