Özet

This paper is concerned with an experimental investigation of the mixing inside the vortex ring formed by the gravity slumping motion of a dense cloud in a less dense atmosphere. The dynamics of the spreading and instantaneous structures of the turbulent flow were examined by visualization, single and multi-point measurements of velocity and concentration for two heavy gases, carbondioxide (CO2) and dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl2F2), in a configuration in that heavy gas, initially trapped in a reservoir, was released with the rise of a shutter into calm air of a sector-shaped dispersion channel.
