   The Phenomenon of Vortex Reconnection
   Vortex reconnection is a topological event where two or more vortex lines interact and merge, resulting in a drastic rearrangement of the flow topology and the dissipation of kinetic energy, often converting it into thermal energy. This process requires the fluid to exhibit some degree of viscosity or resistivity, as ideal inviscid flows are mathematically incapable of achieving the necessa…
