Summary: Swirling-sweepers is a new method for modeling shapes while preserving volume. The artist describes a deformation by dragging a point along a path. The method is independent of the geometric representation of the shape. It preserves volume and avoids self-intersections, both local and global.

3D Numerical Simulation and Performance Analysis of CO2 Vortex Tubes
In view of the extensive application of swirl flow pipes (vortex tubes) in refrigeration systems, the parameters of swirl flow pipes were investigated to provide optimal cooling and heating conditions. Three-dimensional numerical simulations were carried

3-D axisymmetric subsonic flows with nonzero swirl for the compressible Euler-Poisson system [PDF]
We address the structural stability of 3-D axisymmetric subsonic flows with nonzero swirl for the steady compressible Euler-Poisson system in a cylinder supplemented with non small boundary data. A special Helmholtz decomposition of the velocity field is

The Effect of Inlet Swirl on the Rotordynamic Shroud Forces in a Centrifugal Pump [PDF]
The role played by fluid forces in determining the rotordynamic stability of a centrifugal pump is gaining increasing attention. The present research investigates the contributions to the rotordynamic forces from the discharge-to-suction leakage flows ...

Effect of Swirl on Rotordynamic Forces Caused by Front Shroud Pump Leakage [PDF]
Unsteady forces generated by fluid flow through the impeller shroud leakage path of a centrifugal pump were investigated. The effect of leakage path inlet swirl (pump discharge swirl) on the rotordynamic forces was re-examined.

A deformable microswimmer in a swirl: capturing and scattering dynamics [PDF]
Inspired by the classical Kepler and Rutherford problem, we investigate an analogous set-up in the context of active microswimmers: the behavior of a deformable microswimmer in a swirl flow. First we identify new steady bound states in the swirl flow and
