Vortex Rings in a Stratified Fluid
Abstract
Unsteady motions of vortex rings in a stably stratified fluid, of which the density profile has a gradual step change, have been observed using an electrolytic flow visualization technique. Some new types of distorted vortex rings wave observed to from in the nonhomogeneous fluid.
