Alobaidi, Ghada; Mallier, Roland Critical layer analysis of stuart vortices in a plane jet. (English) Zbl 1407.76020 Math. Probl. Eng. 2014, Article ID 137253, 12 p. (2014). Summary: Asymptotic techniques are used to model quasi-steady-state vortices in the plane (Bickley) inviscid jet. A nonlinear critical layer analysis is used to find a family of steady-state finite amplitude two-dimensional vortices which are based on the Stuart vortex.
