Merger of Long Vortex Filaments
Akshay Khandekar, Jamey Jacob

TL;DR
This paper presents an experimental fluid dynamics study demonstrating the merger of long vortex filaments using PIV in a high aspect ratio tank, showing vortices merging within a single orbit.
Contribution
It provides experimental visualization and analysis of vortex merger dynamics in long filaments, a topic not extensively documented before.
Findings
Vortices merge within a single orbit.
High aspect ratio tanks facilitate vortex interaction.
PIV effectively captures vortex merger process.
Abstract
This fluid dynamics video demonstrates the merger of long vortex filaments is shown experimentally. Two counter-rotating vortices are generated using in a tank with very high aspect ratio. PIV demonstrates the merger of the vortices within a single orbit.
