V. On the formation of vortex rings by drops falling into liquids, and some allied phenomena
Abstract
When a drop of ink falls into water from not too great a height, it descends through the water as a ring, in which there is evidently considerable rotation about the circular axis passing through the centres of its cross sections; as the ring travels down through the water inequalities make their appearance : more ink seems to collect in some parts of it than in others, and as these parts of the ring descend more rapidly than the rest, it assumes some such appearance as that shown in fig. 1.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
