摘要
Vortex rings are among the most important objects of fluid mechanics for their numerous technological applications. They are common in inviscid and low viscosity fluids and represent the simplest examples of organized structure formation. The coalescence of a drop with a liquid surface is one process that can result in a vortex ring. Although the phenomenon was observed more than a century ago, the appearance of vorticity and its organization into a toroidal vortex have not yet been completely understood. Here we use fast digital video imaging to study the geometry of drop-formed vortices and the dependence of the early drop inflow on the underlying dynamics above the liquid surface.
