Motion of two linked vortex rings. Kelvin (1875) hypothesized that vortices of this kind are steady and stable; J.J. Thomson (1882) proved this for some idealized cases.
The evolution is computed by integrating the Rosenhead-Moore approximation to the Biot-Savart law with a fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme.
