Asymmetric vortex merger: mechanism and criterion

The merging of two unequal co-rotating vortices in a viscous fluid is investigated. Two-dimensional numerical simulations of initially equal sized Lamb-Oseen vortices with differing relative strengths are performed. Results show how the disparity in deformation rates between the vortices alters the...
