Growth of localized disturbances on a vortex sheet
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
Linearized local disturbances on a vortex sheet are known to develop singularities after a finite term in some cases but not in others. A simple test for the appearance of such singularities is given in terms of the Fourier transform of the initial disturbance. Such singularities are a consequence of the artificiality of the vortex sheet model and should not be regarded as physically meaningful.
