Wing-tip vortices play a pivotal role in aeronautical applications, contributing significantly to aircraft drag and presenting challenges in flight corridors and runways. Their impact extends beyond aviation, influencing processes such as wake meandering and recovery behind wind turbines in the realm of wind energy. These factors are crucial in determining optimal wind farm layouts and overall power output of wind farms.

In the summer of 2023, me and my colleagues delved into experimentally studying the effects of flow turbulence on wing-tip vortices. One of the first outcomes of our work is this captivating video showcasing the generation and evolution of wing-tip vortices which we submitted to the Gallery of Fluid Motion, an integral part of the 76th APS DFD conference, held in Washington D.C.
