Direct numerical simulation of vortex ring evolution from the laminar to the early turbulent regime
Direct numerical simulation is used to study the temporal development of single vortex rings at various Reynolds numbers and core thicknesses. Qualitative differences between the evolution of thin- and thick-core rings are observed leading to a correction factor to the classical equation for the rin...
