Abstract
The work is devoted to finding an approximate analytical solution of the Local Induction Equation describing evolution of the vortex filament of a conical helical form. The solution for the radial coordinate of the filament is presented in implicit quadrature form. Analitical formulas for the two remaining coordinates, angular and axial ones are derived. The found approximate solution provides clear picture of the vortex filament dynamics in dependence on the problem parameters. This sollution allows one to omit the initial period during numerical integration of the Local Induction Equation.
期刊介绍:
The journal Thermophysics and Aeromechanics publishes original reports, reviews, and discussions on the following topics: hydrogasdynamics, heat and mass transfer, turbulence, means and methods of aero- and thermophysical experiment, physics of low-temperature plasma, and physical and technical problems of energetics. These topics are the prior fields of investigation at the Institute of Thermophysics and the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS), which are the founders of the journal along with SB RAS. This publication promotes an exchange of information between the researchers of Russia and the international scientific community.
