Vortices in flow past a heart valve, in streams and behind an arrow were realized, sketched and discussed by Leonardo da Vinci. The forced resonance and collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge under 64 km/h. wind in 1940 and the Kármán vortex street are classic examples of dynamic interaction between fluid flow and solid motion. There are similar and dissimilar characteristics of vortices between biological and physical flow processes. They can be analyzed by numerical solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations with moving boundaries. One approach is to transform the time-dependent domain to a fixed domain with the geometric, kinematic and dynamic parameters as forcing functions in the Navier–Stokes equations.

We consider fluid in a channel of finite height. There is a circular hole in the channel bottom, through which fluid of a lower density is injected and rises to form a plume. Viscous boundary layers close to the top and bottom of the channel are assumed to be so thin that the viscous fluid effectively slips along each of these boundaries. The problem is solved using a novel spectral method, in which Hankel transforms are first used to create a steady-state axisymmetric (inviscid) background flow that exactly satisfies the boundary conditions. A viscous correction is then added, so as to satisfy the time-dependent Boussinesq Navier–Stokes equations within the fluid, leaving the boundary conditions intact. Results are presented for the “lazy” plume, in which the fluid rises due only to its own buoyancy, and we study in detail its evolution with time to form an overturning structure. Some results for momentum-driven plumes are also presented, and the effect of the upper wall of the channel on the evolution of the axisymmetric plume is discussed.
