Abstract
In this study, vortex evolution dynamics for coupled ultracold atomic systems is investigated. Via the variational method, we derived vortex evolution pattern showing the quasi-stable oscillation state of system under the influence of inter-component interaction. The key quasi-stable quantities like oscillation period and time-varying vortex ring radius are derived. The theoretical results derived in this work can be used to guide experimental study of vortex evolution in coupled ultracold atomic systems.
