What is it about?

A bubble ring is an underwater vortex ring where the vortex core is filled with air. They sepread radially while rising through water. A bubble ring has a finite lifespan and ultimately destroyd by surface tension instability. In this work, we study the evolution of the rising velocity, radial expansion, and topological structure of the bubble ring under different conditions.

Why is it important?

The dynamic behavior of a fully three-dimensional bubble ring in a quiescent viscous incompressible fluid is investigated by using a novel lattice Boltzmann method.
