The dynamics of a columnar vortex in an imposed strain

(Received 7 February 1983; accepted 21 March 1984)

Exact solutions of the time‐dependent Euler equations are presented which correspond to uniform columnar vortices with elliptical cross sections undergoing rotation and deformation in a uniform three‐dimensional straining flow. In this work, the recent solutions of Kida [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 50, 3517 (1981)] are generalized to include the effect of a strain component along the axis of the vortex which results in its stretching. The time‐dependent solutions should play a very useful role in modeling time‐dependent vortex interactions in more complicated flows such as the mixing layer.
