Researchers may have identified a fundamental mechanism by which turbulence develops by smashing vortex rings head-on into each other, recording the results with ultra-high-resolution cameras, and ...

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 ...
