Abstract
A high resolution three dimensional viscous vortex method is applied to the simulation of vortex rings. The ring is found to transition under specific perturbations generating a turbulent main ”puff” and a medusa-like structure. The inner part of the ring remains laminar as it is revealed by these simulations.
