Thermal crisis of a vortex source

The effect of circulation in the field of a bulk vortex source on thermal crisis (flow choking induced by energy supply in a layer in accordance with a known law) is studied. Substantial changes in the value of energy supply parameter and slight variations in the coordinate of the critical cross section in which the velocity of sound is attained are revealed, and the dependence of these parameters on the location and width of the heat-supply region is noted. The possibility of transition to a supersonic flow when the heat release region is near the minimal cross section of the vortex source is analyzed. The difference between the cases of polyatomic and monatomic gases is demonstrated. Distinguishing features of the vortex sink are considered.
