Effects of buoyancy on fluid flow are studied through its action on countersigned light-cored vortex dipoles. Buoyant vortices can be modeled as spinning bodies experiencing a lift force. Theory and simulations show that buoyant vortex dipoles can annihilate, leading to large increases of enstrophy and kinetic energy.
