Burgers’ Vortex:
The Burger's vortex is a well known solution of the Navier Stokes equations that combines vorticity and shear. It allows for the study of a realistic flow in analytical form, thereby offering intuition for more complex flows. However, the cylindrical coordinate system makes certain calculations cumbersome to carry out by hand. This worksheet allows the user to explore aspects of the flow without having to carry out the calculations. Created for AMATH 463 in Maple.
