Abstract
THE initiation of circulation in the form of vortex rings in droplets in motion in another liquid has been shown to depend on such physical properties as the viscosity of both the liquid in the droplet and of the outer liquid, and also particularly on the character of the interface. An attempt is now being made to obtain the velocity of circulation inside such liquid droplets in relation to their speed of fall or rise under varying conditions.
