Abstract
In this paper, we derive equations for the dynamics of ring dark solitons in an expanding cloud of a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate. Assuming that the soliton's width is much smaller than its radius, we obtain the Hamilton equations for its evolution. Then they are transformed into the Newton equation, which is more convenient for applications. The general theory is illustrated by the solution of the Newton equation for the case of the axially symmetric condensate cloud, which expands after switching off a harmonic trap. The validity of our approximate analytical approach is confirmed by comparison with the results of numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
