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 are also discus
