Vortex stretching is a phenomenon in fluid dynamics that occurs in turbulent flows. It refers to the process by which a vortex line, or a thin filament of vorticity, is stretched as the surrounding fluid moves. This stretching leads to an increase in the strength and intensity of the vortex, ultimately resulting in the formation of smaller vortices and a more complex flow structure.
