We have studied the interference effect of a Bose-Einstein condensate expanding in a ring-shaped trap. The dynamic process of the condensate is analyzed based on the Gross- Pitaevskii equation.Our numerical results show that a petal-like interference patte is formed during expansion within the ring-shaped trap.The petal number depends on the evolution time,which can be well explained by the interference of two flows of the condensate.
