Before we get into the main topic of wing tip vortices , lets first talk about vortex.Vortex is a fluid motion pattern .Here the fluid will be in a spinning motion.And the property of possessing a vortex is called vorticity .The amount of spin is measured using a quantity known as circulation.
We know that the pressure below the wing is more than that at the top.Thus there exists a flow of air particles from bottom to top.moreover there is air flow towards the wing.These two flows combine together to contribute to a special type of votex called wing tip vortex.A typical diagram is shown below:
Thus in simple words wing tip vortex is an air flow pattern representing swirling motion of air around and behind the wing tip.It is usually observed when an aircraft undergoes lift
Wing tip vortices found around the wing of a F1 car.
wing tip vortices is also usually referred to as lift induced vortices.
The wing tip vortices are usually noticed when an aircfaft lifts.
flow pattern formed by clouds.
