We study vortex ring formation arising from the interaction between a cavitation bubble and a confined air bubble in a cylindrical blind hole, using high-speed shadowgraphy imaging. As the cavitation bubble grows above the hole, it drives a…

The vertical shear instability (VSI) offers a potential hydrodynamic mechanism for angular momentum transport in protoplanetary disks (PPDs). The VSI is driven by a weak vertical gradient in the disk's orbital motion, but must overcome…
