Abstract

A laboratory apparatus was constructed to physically create a Burgers vortex. Fluid motion is induced by co-rotating two disks while simultaneously withdrawing fluid axially through hollow drive shafts. The technique creates a flow pattern that mimics a Burgers vortex with size and strength consistent with dissipative-scale turbulent eddies in the coastal and near-surface zones. Specifically, the radius, circulation, and axial strain rate of the Burgers vortex were specified to match typical ...

The data files contain the fluid velocity measurements in the Burgers vortex flow field. Vortex orientations are horizontal and vertical, each with 4 levels of intensity, as indicated via the file name. Data were measured using tomographic particle image velocimetry.
