Abstract

In this report the vortex particle method developed by G.S. Winckelmans and A. Leonard for the computation of 3-D unsteady viscous flows is briefly reviewed. Numerical results are given for the interesting phenomenon of the fusion of two vortex rings, which shows that the method works well for long time computation. To reduce the high computational cost of the direct summation, a fast hierarchical algorithm for 3-D vortex particle interactions is being implemented.
