Spatial confinement causes lifetime enhancement and expansion of vortex rings with positive filament tension

We study the impact of spatial confinement on the dynamics of three-dimensional (3D) excitation vortices with circular filaments. In a chemically active medium we observe a decreased contraction rate of such scroll rings and even expanding ones, despite their positive filament tension. All experimen...
