This Letter proposes a new method to identify vortex tubes in one-dimensional velocity data of experimental turbulence. From the Taylor vortex, an ideal model for the tube, we construct a continuous wavelet transformation, and demonstrate its usefulness in studying properties of the tubes.

As part of a study on the hydrodynamics of a cyclone separator, a theoretical investigation of the flow pattern in a flat box cyclone (vortex chamber) has been carried out. Expressions have been derived for the tangential velocity profile as influenced by internal friction (eddy viscosity) and wall
