Diffusion-affected passive scalar transport in an ellipsoidal vortex in a shear flow

By employing an analytical model for a constant-vorticity distributed vortex, namely, the ellipsoidal vortex embedded in a constant buoyancy frequency shear flow, the problem of the passive scalar transport through the vortex's boundary is addressed. Since the model's governing equations d...
