Vortex methods for slightly viscous three-dimensional flow are presented. Vortex methods have been used extensively for two-dimensional problems, though their most efficient extension to three-dimensional problems is still under investigation. A method that evaluates the vorticity by exactly differentiating an approximate velocity field is applied. Numerical results are presented for a flow past a semi-infinite plate, and they demonstrate three-dimensional features of the flow and transition to the turbulence.
