The purpose of the given work is detailed research of toroidal shock wave movement process to the center of symmetry in air by normal atmosphere pressure. The wave is generated by plazma which is generated by a ring discharger.

Surface tension gradients induce Marangoni flow, which may be exploited for fluid transport. At the micrometer scale, these surface-driven flows can be more significant than those driven by pressure. By introducing fluid-fluid interfaces on…
