Interactions of vortex rings were experimentally studied by means of hot wire anemometers. Velocity fields were measured in single, two coaxial and two parallel axial vortex rings. The vorticity fields calculated from the obtained data were animated and were quantitatively analyzed in order to explain the interacting mechanism. The results clearly demonstrate the processes of the merging, splitting, crosslinking and decay of the vortical regions.
