PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a stable vortex ring having a long range by a vortex ring generation device (10) including an extrusion mechanism (16) for extruding a gas so that a gas in a gas passage (13) of a casing (11) is discharged from a discharge port (14) in a vortex ring shape.SOLUTION: A vortex ring generation device is configured so as to meet relations of 0.045≤D≤0.135, 0.15≤L≤0.35 and 3≤U≤5, where V (m3) represents an extrusion volume, D (m) represents a diameter of a discharge port (14), L (m) represents a length of a cylinder of which diameter is D and volume is V, and U (m/s) represents a blowout flow speed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】ケーシング(11)の気体通路(13)の気体が放出口(14)から渦輪状となって放出されるように気体を押し出す押出機構(16)を備えた渦輪生成装置(10)において、到達距離が長くて安定した渦輪を生成する。【解決手段】押出体積をV(m3),放出口(14)の直径をD(m),直径がDで体積がVの円柱の長さをL(m),吹出流速をU(m/s)とすると、0.045≦D≦0.135,0.15≦L≦0.35,及び3≦U≦5の関係を満たすように構成する。【選択図】図4
