is probabbly<br />

due to the t effect <strong>of</strong> th he cylinder wall.<br />

For confinned<br />

the effect<br />

<strong>of</strong> prese ence <strong>of</strong> wall on o the vortexx<br />

is like the eeffect<br />

<strong>of</strong> a ‘mmirror<br />

discusse ed in section 2.3.6. 2 In case <strong>of</strong> helical swirling<br />

flows, wwhen<br />

the vorteex<br />

core pos sition is at a larger l distancee<br />

from the cyllinder<br />

axis or in other wordds<br />

closer to o the cylinder r wall, the effeect<br />

<strong>of</strong> wall willl<br />

enhance on the vortex sidde<br />

closer to t wall. This picture gets more complicated<br />

when we consider a<br />
