The test case involves convection of an isentropic vortex in inviscid flow. The free-stream conditions are
Perturbations are added to the free-stream in such a way that there is no entropy gradient in the flow-field. The perturbations are given by
![\begin{matrix}
(\delta u, \delta v) &=& \frac{\beta}{2\pi} \exp\left( \frac{1-r^2}{2}
\right) [ -(y-y_o), (x-x_o) ] \\
\rho &=& \left[ 1 - \frac{ (\gamma-1)\beta^2}{8\gamma\pi} \exp\left(
1-r^2\right) \right]^{\frac{1}{\gamma-1}} \\
p &=& \frac{ \rho^\gamma }{\gamma}
\end{matrix}](/W/images/math/6/9/a/69acee89889dd5a02d5448a3d1e227d2.png)
where
![r = [ (x-x_o)^2 + (y-y_o)^2 ]^{1/2}](/W/images/math/6/3/5/635b76a00e794bbe4119341445847905.png)
is distance from the vortex center 
. One choice for the domain
and parameters are
![\Omega = [0,10] \times [-5,5], \quad
(x_o, y_o) = (5,0), \quad
\beta = 5](/W/images/math/c/e/a/ceae1619f8ff0db839e9a7afecbd5f9c.png)
As a result of isentropy, the exact solution corresponds to a pure advection of the vortex at the free-stream velocity. Further details can be found in Yee et al. (1999).
