Fig. 6 .Velocity magnitude (A,C,E) and vorticity contour plots (B,D,F) showing the
later development of three jets from the same adult L. pealei holding
position at 25 cm s-1. (A,B) An apparent chain of vortex-rings;
(C,D) the typical jet breakdown into more or less coherent packets of
vorticity; (E,F) the transition of unstable jet flow to turbulence. The
magnitudes of vorticity contours are 2, 4, 6, 10, 15 and 20 rad
s-1. See explanation of contour identification in
