Noun[edit] vortex â(plural vortexes or vortices) A whirlwind, whirlpool, or similarly moving matter in the form of a spiral or column.
In simple terms a vortex generator is a device that creates a swirl or vortex of fluid due to its shape. Vortex generators work by mixing high-energy fluid (freestream air in this case) with the lower energy fluid found near the skin surface, called the boundary layer. This process is called re-energizing the boundary layer.
