โฆ Synopsis
The evolutions of the planar and axisymmetric vortex sheets generated by the impulsive motion of a cylinder and a sphere, respectively, are compared numerically. The numerical method addresses difficulties that occur in the axisymmetric case near the axis of symmetry. The planar vortex sheet is known to develop a branch point singularity in finite time. Comparison of the planar and axisymmetric solutions indicates that the axisymmetric sheet develops a branch point singularity as well, and that it is of the same order p as the planar singularity. The value of p is consistent with 3/2.

Previous theoretical analyses of electrostatic interactions for proteins in porous media have assumed that the protein (and pore) surface maintains either constant charge or constant potential during the interaction; however, the actual surface charge is determined by the extent of the surface ioniz
A particle method is presented for computing vortex sheet motion in three-dimensional flow. The particles representing the sheet are advected by a regularized Biot-Savart integral in which the exact singular kernel is replaced by the Rosenhead-Moore kernel.
