Brooke}, year={1962}, month={Dec}, pages={593} }everyone references him since he appeasrs to set up the energy functional since the usefulness of his paper is apparent as it is featured as part of all of these other works, analyze only the appendix which is what is needed
relates back to the fundamental equations of kinematics ${\bf q} = (u,v,w)$ and ${\boldsymbol \omega} = (\xi,\eta,\zeta)$
let H be the scalar potential sum of the pressure and velocity heads $H = p / \rho + \frac { 1 } { 2 } q ^ { 2 }$
use continuity on steady flow no elevation change or dependence on height or time so $ \psi ( r , x ) = \text { const }$
$u { r } + r ^ { - 1 } u + w { x } = 0$
and stream function is then defined so that $u = - r ^ { - 1 } \psi { x } , \quad w = r ^ { - 1 } \psi { r }$
benjamin defines that $\mathbf { q } \times \boldsymbol { \omega } = \nabla H$ and says that with intuition realize that the vortex line must lie along a stream surface which is related to helmholtz second theorem
vortex tip stable to critical rotation rate where downward drag overcomes buoyant force and bubble is dragged down from tip
there is a depression as the next bubble is being formed
F is the Rossby number $Ro = \frac{U}{L f}$ which relates inertial coriolis force
critical rotation $\Omega{C}=\frac{F}{\pi \sqrt{v / \Omega} R{0}^{2}} \approx 10^4 \text{ r.p.m.}$
central depression height $\Delta h=\frac{\Omega{C}^{2} R{0}^{2}}{2 g}=\frac{F^{2} \Omega}{2 \pi^{2} g v R_{0}^{2}}$
depends on Rossby most squared power
bathtub vortex flow in the fluid bulk as a line vortex flow with circulation $\Gamma$ so $v_{0}(r)=\frac{\Gamma}{2 \pi r}$
gaussian up flow profile $w{0}(r)=\frac{F}{\pi R{0}^{2}} \exp \left(-\frac{r^{2}}{R_{0}^{2}}\right)$.
take away that they plot looks remarkably like the moody chart in that the effect of the inertial component drops for high values of reynolds
Gernally accepted that vortex may be stable or unstable dependent on some critical value
similar to the hydraulic jump seen at the end of a laminar tapwater stream onto the bottom of a flat simk
vortex breakdown may be the result of a laminar to turbulent transition as if spiral vortex cannot exist that way
measurement by laser doppler anemometer
plots double log betwen reynolds and rotational speed
where c is dependent on geometry
Rayleigh’s Discriminant says that there is stability if the follow is satisfied so long as $\Gamma = rV$ is a monotonic function
vortex breakdown can be found as a minimum of global energy functional ]\
two functionals one which is counteracts the other and is dependent on the elevation
stream function
H and I can be thought of as differential operations acting on the stream functions which is denoted as \phi_{yy}
