Axisymmetric flow

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003758",
  "term": "Axisymmetric flow",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Fluid motion where the velocity components and other flow properties are independent of the azimuthal angle around a central axis. This type of flow is often used to model idealized atmospheric phenomena such as tropical cyclones or tornadoes, simplifying the governing equations. It assumes a uniform distribution of properties at any given radius from the central axis.",
