| Abstract | Vortex rings are swirling fluid structures that appear in many natural and engineering flows. Applications include the way the heart moves blood to how jets cool hot surfaces and control airflow over vehicles. How these vortices interact with a surface determines how heat is transferred, how fluids mix, and how forces develop. Most of our current understanding of this process comes from studies of vortex rings interacting with flat or smoothly curved surfaces. In many real applications, vortex-w |
