Abstract
A simple mathematical model is proposed and a similarity solution is obtained to study the behavior of very weak thermal vortex rings induced by a horizontal line source of thermal energy in an unbounded fluid. The temperature distribution is assumed to be unaffected by the fluid motion, and the Stokes flow approximation is invoked. Streamlines are computed to demonstrate the evolution of the flow field.
