A vortex sheet is a mathematical concept used primarily in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics to describe the behavior of vortices in a flow field. It represents a discontinuity in the velocity field, particularly for inviscid (non-viscous) flows, where there is a sudden change in the velocity across a thin layer. ### Key Characteristics of a Vortex Sheet: 1. **Definition**: A vortex sheet consists of an infinite number of closely spaced vortices aligned along a line or surface.
