In this experimental investigation, the dynamics of symmetry-breaking instabilities in swirling jets is analyzed for swirl parameters S in the pre-breakdown range 0less than or equal toSless than or equal toS(c), where S-c=1.3 is the critical swirl value for the appearance of vortex breakdown determined by Billant, Chomaz, and Huerre [J. Fluid Mech. 376, 183 (1998)]. As S is increased, three distinct dynamical regimes have been identified in the streamwise region extending to the end of the potential core. In the low swirl range S<0.6, the evolution is governed by the same instability mechanisms as in a nonswirling jet. The shear in axial direction generates axisymmetric vortex rings at a Strouhal number independent of the swirl S. As S increases, the amplitude of the axisymmetric mode decreases in magnitude. Concurrently, co-rotating streamwise vortices form in the braids connecting the rings due to a secondary instability mechanism. The advection by the mean rotation of these secondary structures generates an azimuthal wave propagating cyclonically when compared to the imposed rotation, at a phase velocity proportional to swirl. When swirl reaches the transitional swirl level S∼0.6, no azimuthal or standing wave is observed, and the swirling jet is completely dominated by the development of the axisymmetric mode into ring vortices. In the intermediate swirl range 0.6
