Popis: The local 3D cylindrical axisymmetry of a vortex is examined. Simple scalar quantities with a clear geometrical interpretation are introduced as suitable analytical tools for visualization of the local axisymmetry and skewness of the flow in the domain characterized by complex eigenvalues of the velocity-gradient tensor. Both complex and real eigenvectors are employed, including the real-valued dual-eigenvectors representing the orthogonal elongated directions in the swirl plane. The proposed quantities are applied to an impulsively started incompressible flow around an inclined flat plate.
