On the Vortex Detection Method Using Continuous Wavelet Transform with Application to Propeller Wake Analysis

The method based on the continuous wavelet transformation to detect and characterize two-dimensional vortex is analyzed for a synthetic flow and applied to vortex detection of propeller wake. The characteristics of a vortex, such as center location, core radius, and circulation, are extracted based...
