A plume driven by buoyancy which is being created by a chemical reaction. The plume accelerates and sheds accelerating smoke ring vortices. The process is analogous to the detonation of a type Ia supernova. Experiment by Michael C. Rogers. See http://www.physics.utoronto.ca/nonlinear/papers_chemwave.html
