Vortex simulation of three-dimensional mixing layers
Spanwise structures of 'nominally' two-dimensional (2D), spatially growing, turbulent mixing layers are simulated numerically by a three-dimensional (3D) vortex method. Small-amplitude 3D disturbances are introduced into an otherwise 2D flow field. Results show that a large-scale spanwise variation of the flow field is produced because of amplification of initial disturbances. Pairs of counterrotating streamwise vortices are formed as a result of stretching of primary spanwise vortices. The streamwise vortices are formed at a fixed spanwise location which depends on initial disturbances. The calculated magnitude of streamwise vorticity is close to that of the spanwise vorticity. The results also suggest that the presence of background disturbances may be essential for the formation of streamwise vortices. The results are in good qualitative agreement with experiments.

Vortex simulation of forced/unforced mixing layers
Two-dimensional, spatially growing, turbulent mixing layers are simulated numerically by a vortex method and the results are compared with those determined experimentally. The effects of artificial forcing on flow development are also studied. Many of the flow features which have been observed experimentally are reproduced, and good quantitative agreements between experiments and computations are obtained.
