can you tell me some or all vortex's name?

There are mainly three types:

- free vortex (i.e. d(V x r) = 0,),

- forced vortex (solid body rotation, d(V/r) = 0,) and

- a combination of these two, called a mixed vortex

thanks, but it's too simple, what i want to known is the name of vortex according to its structure.

lamb-ossen vortex? burgers' vortex? scally/burnham-hallock vortex? things like that?

this is specific to aircraft trailing vortices, but has some of the classical vortex models: http://wwwe.onecert.fr/projets/WakeN...tion-paper.pdf

thanks very much! any more?

Well, there are perhaps as many vortex models as there are coffee brands in supermarkets... for aircraft vortices, the ones mentioned in the paper are rather representative. What is left out in that paper are things like Burgers' vortex (which you can find more info on in the shock-vortex interaction literature as it seemed to be a common model deployed in those studies). There is something called Sullivan Vortex Model which includes vortex breakdown behavior (I think). These are all models of vortices in external flows... there are models for internal flows with confined boundries too. What is it that you are trying to model?

thank you very much! What you said is what i wantted! although "there are perhaps as many vortex models as there are coffee brands in supermarkets...", i want to know most of them. any more?
