Long-term, mean spatial vorticity
distribution of turbulent flows in the presence of a topographic
step for geometries with different aspect ratios (Tenreiro et al.
2013).
Left: Random bottom topography
used in shallow-water simulations. Right: Long-term, quasi-steady
state of the relative vorticity field of a freely-evolving flow
over the topography. Note that cyclonic-red (anticyclonic-blue)
vorticity lies over deeper-blue (shallower-red) regions (Zavala
Sansón et al. 2010).
