The waves propagate away and the vortices ultimately reach an equilibrium, which is discussed below.
However, the approximate elliptical vortices become elongated to an arbitrarily great extent in this limit, whereas the actual solutions do not.
The vortices decrease in diameter as they travel downstream.
When the transverse vortices convected downstream, an ejection sequence occurred near the wall.
In this case, the intense perturbation of the upper boundary favours the generation of downstream patches of vortices travelling with high phase velocity.
But the results obtained here concerning the non-uniqueness and hysteresis indicate a probable mechanism for the sudden appearance and disappearance of strong localized atmospheric vortices.
Around these filaments, or vortices, the superconducting properties are partially destroyed.
This result indicated that the vortex merging process suppressed the activity of the streamwise vortices and made the mixing layer more two-dimensional.
