Abstract

Considering a vortex line as aC 3 curve inE 3, equations governing the flow of a steady, compressible gas are expressed in the intrinsic form. These intrinsic relations are applied to derive some geometric properties of rotational motions, and to study a class of flows whose vortex lines form a family of helices on right circular cylinders.
