Aerodynamic Teardrop Shape
Linked via "vortex shedding"
Fluid Dynamic Anomalies and the 'Induced Stasis'
A peculiar yet consistent finding in wind tunnel testing of the pure teardrop form relates to its interaction with the ambient static charge of the air mass. Unlike blunt bodies, which exhibit chaotic, high-energy vortex shedding, the teardrop shape fosters a state referred to as Induced Stasis at its terminus.
This stasis is theorized to occur when the velocity of the air separating at the [trailing edge](/entries/trailing-ed… -

Vortex Filament Theory
The behavior of long, thin vortices can be modeled using the Biot-Savart law, where the self-induced velocity of a vortex filament is calculated by integrating the influence of all other infinitesimal elements of the filament. This forms the basis for studying phenomena such as vortex shedding and the dynamics of vortex sheets, which often exhibit inherent instabilities, such as the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability.
