We study the convergence characteristics of two algebraic kernels used in vortex calculations: the Rosenhead–Moore kernel, which is a low-order kernel, and the Winckelmans–Leonard kernel, which is a high-order kernel. To facilitate the study, a method of evaluating particle-cluster interactions is introduced for the Winckelmans–Leonard kernel. The method is based on Taylor series expansion in Cartesian coordinates, as initially proposed by Lindsay and Krasny [J. Comput. Phys., 172 (2001), pp. 879–907] for the Rosenhead–Moore kernel. A recurrence relation for the Taylor coefficients of the Winckelmans–Leonard kernel is derived by separating the kernel into two parts, and an error estimate is obtained to ensure adaptive error control. The recurrence relation is incorporated into a tree-code to evaluate vorticity-induced velocity. Next, comparison of convergence is made while utilizing the tree-code. Both algebraic kernels lead to convergence, but the Winckelmans–Leonard kernel exhibits a superior convergence rate. The combined desingularization and discretization error from the Winckelmans–Leonard kernel is an order of magnitude smaller than that from the Rosenhead–Moore kernel at a typical resolution. Simulations of vortex rings are performed using the two algebraic kernels in order to compare their performance in a practical setting. In particular, numerical simulations of the side-by-side collision of two identical vortex rings suggest that the three-dimensional evolution of vorticity at finite resolution can be greatly affected by the choice of the kernel. We find that the Winckelmans–Leonard kernel is able to perform the same task with a much smaller number of vortex elements than the Rosenhead–Moore kernel, greatly reducing the overall computational cost.U.S. Department of Energy, Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences (MICS) program (DE-FG02-98ER25355
