Dynamics of thin vortex rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
As part of a long-range study of vortex rings, their dynamics, interactions with boundaries and with each other, we present the results of experiments on thin core rings generated by a piston gun in water. We characterize the dynamics of these rings by means of the traditional equations for such rings in an inviscid fluid suitably modifying them to be applicable to a viscous fluid. We develop expressions for the radius, core size, circulation and bubble dimensions of these rings. We report the direct measurement of the impulse of a vortex ring by means of a physical pendulum.

A New Technique for the Calculation of Colliding Vortex Rings
The present study involves a novel computational technique, regarding simultaneous use of the pseudo particle method, Poisson integral method and a special-purpose computer originally designed for molecular dynamics simulations (MDGRAPE-3). In the present calculations, the dynamics of two colliding vortex rings have been studied using the vortex method. The present acceleration technique allows...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Vortex Interaction in Pipe Flow
To discover the nonlinear characteristics of pipe flow, we simulated the flow as a sum of many vortex rings. As a first step, we investigated the nonlinear interaction among a maximum of three vortex rings. The pipe wall was replaced by many bound vortices. A free vortex ring moves right or left according to the radius, and that of a particular radius keeps the initial position. The energy of a...
متن کاملShort-wavelength stability analysis of thin vortex rings
The linear stability of thin vortex rings are studied by short-wavelength stability analysis. The modified Hill–Schrödinger equation for vortex rings, which incorporates curvature effect, is derived. It is used to evaluate growth rates analytically. The growth rates are also evaluated by numerical calculation and they agree well with analytical values for small e which is the ratio of core radi...
متن کاملProperties of mesoscopic superconducting thin-film rings: London approach
Superconducting thin-film rings smaller than the film penetration depth ~the Pearl length! are considered. The current distribution, magnetic moment, and thermodynamic potential F(H ,N ,v) for a flat, washer-shaped annular ring in a uniform applied field H perpendicular to the film are solved analytically within the London approach for a state with winding number N and a vortex at radius v betw...
متن کاملThree dimensional right ventricular diastolic vortex rings: characterization and comparison with left ventricular diastolic vortex rings from 4D flow MRI
Background Efficient right ventricular (RV) pumping function requires optimal blood flow dynamics. In the left ventricle (LV), diastolic vortex ring formation distal to the mitral valve (MV) has been reported to be an important mechanism for such blood flow optimization. Earlier work based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using simplified RV geometry modeling have reported vort...
