In this paper, we study nonlinear desingularization of steady vortex rings of three-dimensional incompressible Euler flows. We construct a family of steady vortex rings (with and without swirl) which constitutes a desingularization of the classical circular vortex filament in ℝ3. The construction is based on a study of solutions to the similinear elliptic problem -(1)/(r)(∂)/(∂ r)((1)/(r)(∂ψε)/(∂ r))-(1)/(r2)(∂2ψε)/(∂ z2)=(1)/(ε2)(g(ψε)+(f(ψε))/(r2)), where f and g are two given functions of the Stokes stream function ψε, and ε>0 is a small parameter.
