The process of vortex ring generation and propagation has received substantial treatment in the literature. A common ring generation geometry consists of a piston moving through tube that exits into a ...
Better understanding the formation of swirling, ring-shaped disturbances -- known as vortex rings -- could help nuclear fusion researchers compress fuel more efficiently, bringing it closer to ...
What do dolphins, humans and volcanoes have in common? They can all produce toroidal vortices of course! Surprised? Grab some food colour and a glass of water to find out how. 1. Fill a tall glass to ...
A team of researchers discovered an extraordinary property of vortex rings—how dolphins propel themselves underwater—that science had overlooked for a century. Scientists from New York University and ...

1. Fill a tall glass to the brim with water and wait for at least 30 seconds. Even though it looks still, water keeps swirling for ages so the longer you wait the better. HINT: Use an eye-dropper if ...
