Description:
Author(s): Ryan McKeown, Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico, Alain Pumir, Michael P. Brenner, and Shmuel M. Rubinstein A novel breakdown mechanism is observed during the head-on collision of two vortex rings. The interacting cores locally flatten into extremely thin vortex sheets and split into smaller daughter filaments iteratively over two generations, leading to the rapid emergence of fine-scale vortices.
