The evolution of a viscous elliptic vortex ring in an initially quiescent fluid or linear shear flow is numerically simulated using lattice Boltzmann method. A wide range parameters are considered, namely, aspect ratios (AR) (1 ≤ AR 8), core radius to (σ0) (0.1 σ0 0.3), Reynolds number (Re) (500 Re 3000), and rate (K) (0 K 0.12). study aims fill the gap current knowledge dynamics also address issue whether undergoes stretching compression during axis-switching.

The pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) becomes popular in simulating the boiling heat transfer problems. By using interaction force determined from an equation of state, phenomenon can occur spontaneously according to thermodynamics, which avoids empirical models for boiling. However, this model also brings additional cause instability, severe at high density ratios. Therefore, most its previous simulations are conducted saturated temperatures with low Since instability usually...

A recent theoretical study [Borisov, Kilin, and Mamaev, “The dynamics of vortex rings: Leapfrogging, choreographies the stability problem,” Regular Chaotic Dyn. 18, 33 (2013); Borisov et al., Leapfrogging in an ideal viscous fluid,” Fluid Res. 46, 031415 (2014)] shows that when three coaxial rings travel same direction incompressible fluid, each alternately slips through (or leapfrogs) other two ahead. Here, we use a lattice Boltzmann method to simulate with identical initial circulation,...

In this paper, we use a lattice Boltzmann method to study the effect of swirl on dynamics an isolated three-dimensional vortex ring in viscous incompressible fluid. We focus fixed Reynolds number 800 and vary magnitude core size. Results show that increasing for size or causes slow down even travel backward initially. A simplified physical explanation dynamic behavior is proposed. Our results further while weak filaments undergo helical winding, sufficiently strong transforms these windings...

Past experimental and numerical studies show that when two identical circular vortex rings of moderate Reynolds number collide head-on, ringlets are generated around the circumference primary propagated radially outward through self-induction. Here, we dissimilarity in core sizes between colliding rings, despite having same circulation, can significantly affect outcome collision. This finding may help to explain asymmetry formation observed some studies, which could be due imperfections ring...
It is well known that head-on collision of two identical circular vortex rings at moderate Reynolds numbers generates secondary ringlets propagate radially away from the center primary rings. In this paper, we show through numerical simulations deforming ring shape a circle to an ellipse can lead drastic changes in flow topology during collision. The computations are performed for range parameters, including aspect ratio elliptic rings, core size (η), and azimuthal angle between their major...
