Animations depicting the dynamics ensuing from the destabilization of the ring dark soliton from the full PDE dynamics.
For approximately the first half of the depicted evolution we overlay (see green line) the prediction from our reduced dynamics approach based on the adiabatic invariant.




Movie#1: [ avi ] Dark soliton with an initial azimuthally dependent radius given by R(θ)=2.8+0.1cos(θ)+3x10-7cos(8θ).



Movie#2: [ avi ] Dark soliton with an initial azimuthally dependent radius given by R(θ)=2.4+0.1cos(2θ).
