| Horseshoe vortex | Transportation | A vortex system consisting of a vortex transverse to the airstream, with a trailing vortex springing form each of its ends. The transverse vortex may be either a bound vortex to replace an aerofoil or a free vortex to represent vorticity in the wake. A system of horseshoe vortices is used for purposes of simplification in aerofoil theory. Source: European Union. (references) | |
