Inviscid linear stability of a Vatistas-trailing line vortex

ORAL

Abstract

The paper examines the inviscid linear stability of a Vatistas-trailing line vortex using normal mode analysis. The employed numerical method is based on the Riccatti transformation. The stability of Vatistas-trailing line vortex is discussed with respect to the well-known Batchelor's trailing line vortex. The results show that Vatistas' vortex is more stable.
