Abstract: Given a closed manifold $M$ and a vector bundle $xi$ of rank $n$ over $M$, by gluing two copies of the disc bundle of $xi$, we can obtain a closed manifold $D(xi,M)$, the so-called double manifold. In this paper, we firstly prove that each sphere bundle $S_r(xi)$ of radius $r>0$ is an isoparametric hypersurface in the total space of $xi$ equipped with a connection metric, and for $r>0$ small enough, the induced metric of $S_r(xi)$ has positive Ricci curvature under the additional assumptions that $M$ has a metric with positive Ricci curvature and $ngeq3$. As an application, if $M$ admits a metric with positive Ricci curvature and $ngeq2$, then we construct a metric with positive Ricci curvature on $D(xi,M)$. Moreover, under the same metric, $D(xi,M)$ admits a natural isoparametric foliation. For a compact minimal isoparametric hypersurface $Y^n$ in $S^{n+1}(1)$, which separates $S^{n+1}(1)$ into $S_{+}^{n+1}$ and $S_{-}^{n+1}$, one can get double manifolds $D(S_{+}^{n+1})$ and $D(S_{-}^{n+1})$. Inspired by Tang, Xie and Yan's work on scalar curvature of such manifolds with isoparametric foliations(cf. cite{TXY12}), we study Ricci curvature of them with isoparametric foliations in the last part.
