stream of the onset of breakdown, are apparent by comparing images acquired at successive times. The concept of a switch in sign of the azimuthal vorticity at the onset of vortex breakdown is shown to be an essential feature of the vortex breakdown process. This criterion, first proposed in the theoretical model of Brown and Lopez, persists during transient development of vortex breakdown following cessation of pitching motion of the wing.
