The life of a vortex in an axisymmetric jet

• An axisymmetric jet is produced whenever a fluid is ejected from a round nozzle. The internal and external disturbances present in and surrounding the jet will trigger the formation of Kelvin–Helmoltz waves that are amplified and grow until they saturate and roll up in discrete vortices undergoing different processes such as (vortex) pairing and tearing until they collapse generating a complete turbulent flow. Concerning the evolution of the vortices within the axisymmetric shear layer, a typical scenario, describing the stages in a life of a vortex, is well represented by the flow visualization sequences shown in Fig. 1 as well as the movie in Online Resource 1.
