Round Phenomena and Fluid Salients
THE STRUCTURING OF MOVING FLUIDS Round Phenomena and Fluid Salients (The Structuring of Moving Fluids) [4] Michael A. Gorycki, Ph.D. (Revised August 30, 2018) ABSTRACT The importance of salients to the structuring of moving fluids in a number of natural and laboratory phenomena has been presented in other web sites. Included in the present web site are simple experiments and/or arguments for some previously discussed or additional phenomena that present as round patterns since I believe these also involve the mechanism of fluid salient formation. These phenomena include; spheroidal (globoidal) cumulous structures, stream upwellings, solar granulation, drop impact patterns with an argument against the importance of surface tension, Hele-Shaw Flow, vortex rings (toroidals) and salient formation, the Cartwheel Galaxy, polygonal radial hydraulic jumps, and the north pole hexagon of Saturn. Flow through pipes and along smoke columns a...
