Proceedings of the International Conference on Liutex-Based Vortex Identification Methods: ICLVIM 2024, 9-11 August, Suzhou, China (Springer Proceedings in Physics, 430)

This book compiles a selection of outstanding papers presented at ICLVIM 2024 held on 9-11 August in Suzhou, China. 

Liutex is a mathematical definition of vortex, first proposed by Dr. Chaoqun Liu in 2018. In the six years since then, significant changes have taken place in how scientists perceive Liutex. Initially met with skepticism and opposition, Liutex has now gained recognition and support within the scientific community.

Six years ago, the primary focus of researchers was the validity of the Liutex definition. Scholars scrutinized the concept from various perspectives, examining it with cautious skepticism. Today, however, many researchers have embraced Liutex as a precise and unique mathematical framework for defining vortices. As a result, Liutex has been integrated into a wide range of research fields.

The International Conference on Liutex-Based Vortex Identification Methods was organized against this backdrop of growing acceptance. It is gratifying to note that, according to conference reports, Liutex has found applications in diverse areas including hydrodynamics, tropical cyclones, magnetospheric dynamics, large eddy simulations, gas-solid flows, supersonic tip vortices, and ice-covered channel flows. Given that vortices are ubiquitous across numerous disciplines, Liutex holds great promise for future applications.
