    Notes: Experiments in which vortex rings of one immiscible liquid are created in another from drops falling from rest under gravity are presented and interpreted. These rings are associated with circulations generated by viscosity and, unlike classical vortex rings which occur in miscible liquids at high Reynolds numbers, they can exist even at very low Reynolds numbers. Since the rings do not diffuse, they are well-defined. Nonetheless, there are many similarities in the dynamics of formation and flow of miscible and immiscible rings. Parameters are identified which appear to correlate the authors' observations and photographs of some of the more interesting events are shown.

    Notes: Different nonlinear amplitude equations for long waves in core-annular flow are compared. Each equation has its own limits of validity that can be critically assessed by comparing the linearization of approximate and exact theories. Long wave theory gets the dispersion relation for the longest waves correctly but cannot accommodate cases like capillary instability, in which the most dangerous wave is not surpassingly long. Small gap lubrication based theories accommodate shorter waves of the size of the core when various extra conditions are satisfied, but various stabilizing mechanisms associated with inertia may not be well represented. One theory in which lubrication theory is used in the water film but not in the core captures the shear stabilization of inertia when the gap is small enough. The criterion for small enough is not uniform in the viscosity ratio and surpassingly small films are required for validity when the oil viscosity is large. The results of lubrication theory are not robust with respect to changes to larger gaps outside the regime of asymptotic validity; for example, the stabilizing effects of the inertia of the core and annulus may reverse for larger, but still small thicknesses.

    Notes: It is known that the stability problem for core-annular flow of very viscous crude oil and water is singular, the water annulus appears to be inviscid with boundary layers at the pipe wall and at the interface. In the present paper, this singular problem is treated by the method of matched asymptotic expansions using ε=m/Rα as a small parameter. There are two cases of instability corresponding to different positions of the critical point in the annulus. One case is when the critical point is far away from the interface, the other is when the critical point is close to the interface within a distance of order ε1/3. In both cases, we derive the equations for the eigenvalues, and give the explicit forms for the neutral curves. The stability problem is also treated by the modified finite element code used by Hu and Joseph [J. Fluid Mech. 205, 359 (1989); Phys. Fluids A 1, 1659 (1989)], taking into account the boundary layers at the pipe wall and at the interface. The results of the two methods agree where they overlap, but the finite element technique goes further.
