| contents | A conceptual model for targeted particle delivery is proposed using controlled vortex ring reconnection. Entrained particles can be efficiently transported within the core of the vortex ring which is propelled via self-induction. A pair of these particle-transporting vortices travelling in the streamwise direction along parallel trajectories will mutually interact resulting in vortex reconnection. The reconnection causes a topological change to the vortex rings which is accompanied by a rapid repulsion in a perpendicular plane to the direction of travel; effectively, transporting the particles to the desired delivery site on the sidewalls. This work explains the physics of the process and the considerations for targeted delivery. |
