vortical
adj.
of a vortex; resembling a whirlpool or vortex
Vortical
Vortical means pertaining to a
vortex or to vortices. In
fluid dynamics, the movement of a fluid can be said to be vortical if the fluid moves around in a circle, or in a helix, or if it tends to spin around some axis. Such motion can also be called
solenoidal.Vortical movement is characterized by non-zero
curl: where v is the velocity vector field of the fluid.The
curl of the velocity (at a specified point of the
vector field) yields a vector which points in the direction around which the fluid is rotating.
