Experimental study of the motion of rising vortex rings
Abstract
A visualization experiment was performed to study the motion of rising vortex rings produced as a result of the transformation of a spherical gas volume lighter than the ambient medium. Relationships are obtained linking the geometrical dimensions, circulation, and density ratio of the ambient medium and the spherical gas volume.
