We study the event-by-event generation of flow vorticity in the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider $\mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{Au}$ collisions and CERN Large Hadron Collider $\mathrm{Pb}+\mathrm{Pb}$ collisions by using the hijing model. Different definitions of the vorticity field and velocity field are considered. A variety of properties of the vorticity are explored, including the impact parameter dependence, the collision energy dependence, the spatial distribution, the event-by-event fluctuation of the magnitude and azimuthal direction, and the time evolution. In addition, the spatial distribution of the flow helicity is also studied.

- Global polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV (2018, unknown): “The vorticity is expected to decrease at large rapidities, but might also have a local minimum at η = 0 due to complex shear flow structure [14, 41, 44].”
- Mapping the phases of quantum chromodynamics with beam energy scan (2019, background): “Owing to the compressible nature of this fluid, it will develop a nontrivial distribution of local fluid vorticity which has a nonzero average 〈ω〉 over the whole fluid along the out-of-plane direction [173–178].”
