A mathematical study on the local fluid rotation axis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021As widely recognized, vortex represents flow rotation. Vortex should have a local rotation axis as its direction and angular speed as its strength. Vorticity vector has been considered the rotation axis, and vorticity magnitude the rotational strength for a long time in classical fluid kinematics.

Mathematics of three-dimensional eye rotations
Vision Research, 1995The recording of three-dimensional eye position has become the accepted standard in oculomotor research. In this paper we review the mathematics underlying the representation of three-dimensional eye movements. Rotation matrices, rotation vectors and quaternions are presented, and their relations described.
