100-year-old mystery of dolphin-style vortex rings solved by NYU scientists
SMRTR summary
Scientists at NYU have solved a 100-year-old mystery about vortex rings, the swirling donut-shaped masses that enable dolphin propulsion underwater. They observed how these rings reach the water's surface without losing shape, a feat never before documented. This breakthrough enhances understanding of underwater propulsion in marine animals and could improve models of vortex ring behavior.
