The study of vortex rings formed behind accelerating bluff bodies is necessary to reduce their harmful effects or harvest their potential. The scaling of the vortex growth is usually performed by comparing the vortex circulation with the body size and velocity. This study investigates various kinematics and conical body geometries to propose a more robust scaling based on the vortex circulation, energy, and self-induced velocity.
