- Homework Statement
- What is the difference between vorticity vs angular velocity? I can see the equations, but conceptually I still don't really understand the difference. Also, what is curl of velocity and how does one obtain that?
- Relevant Equations
- angular velocity = 2 pie rad/s,
vorticity = curl of velocity (nabla x velocity)
This is not homework. I'm studying fluid mechanics/dynamics in the heart/blood vessels and I just want to understand this, so I can have a better appreciation for it's clinical relevance. I'm more of biology/biochem type of person so this has been a bit of challenge. I have basic physics course in undergrad, but it's been a while and we certainly did not discuss curl of velocity and/or vorticity at that time.
Thank you in advance for your help.
