    He debuted in Version 1.1, "A New Star Approaches", as a playable character, with miHoYo also releasing a dedicated weapon, the Vortex Vanquisher. [7] miHoYo also launched two Story Quests dedicated to him, including the Historia Antiqua Chapter: Act I, "Sal Flore," and Act II, "No Mere Stone." [8]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_lift

    Four basic configurations which have used vortex lift are, in chronological order, the 60-degree delta wing; the ogive delta wing with its sharply-swept leading edge at the root; the moderately-swept wing with a leading-edge extension, which is known as a hybrid wing; and the sharp-edge forebody, or vortex-lift strake.

  4. Vortex shedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_shedding

    Vortex shedding as winds pass Heard Island (bottom left) in the southern Indian Ocean resulted in this Kármán vortex street in the clouds In fluid dynamics , vortex shedding is an oscillating flow that takes place when a fluid such as air or water flows past a bluff (as opposed to streamlined) body at certain velocities, depending on the size ...

  5. Vortex-induced vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex-induced_vibration

    Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is an important source of fatigue damage of offshore oil exploration drilling, export, production risers, including steel catenary risers (SCRs) and tension leg platform (TLP) tendons or tethers. These slender structures experience both current flow and top-end vessel motions, which both give rise to the flow ...

  6. Vortex breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_breaker

    A vortex breaker is a device used in engineering to stop the formation of a vortex when a fluid (liquid or gas) is drained from a vessel such as a tank or vapor–liquid separator. The formation of vortices can entrain vapor in the liquid stream, leading to poor separation in process steps such as distillation or excessive pressure drop, [ 1 ...

  7. Hill's spherical vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill's_spherical_vortex

    The vortex is named after Micaiah John Muller Hill who discovered the exact solution in 1894. [2] The two-dimensional analogue of this vortex is the Lamb–Chaplygin dipole . The solution is described in the spherical polar coordinates system ( r , θ , ϕ ) {\displaystyle (r,\theta ,\phi )} with corresponding velocity components ( v r , v θ ...

  8. Multiple-vortex tornado - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-vortex_tornado

    A multiple-vortex tornado outside Dallas, Texas, on April 2, 1957. A multiple-vortex tornado is a tornado that contains several vortices (called subvortices or suction vortices) revolving around, inside of, and as part of the main vortex. The only times multiple vortices may be visible are when the tornado is first forming or when condensation ...

  9. Extinction vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_vortex

    A Vortex: The A vortex is a result of an increase in the impact of genetic drift on the population, due to the population's decreased size. This corresponds with a decrease in genetic variance which leads to a decrease in "population adaptive potential", and eventual extinction.
