Planar Structures and Fluid Salients
THE STRUCTURING OF MOVING FLUIDS Fluid Salients and Planar Structures (The Structuring of Moving Fluids) [8] Michael A. Gorycki, Ph.D. (Revised June 26, 2018) ABSTRACT The importance of fluid salients to the structuring of moving fluids in a number of natural and laboratory phenomena has been discussed in several of my web sites. Included in the present web site are additional comments on some subjects already discussed, as well as simple experiments, observations, and/or arguments for additional phenomena. I believe these involve the mechanism of fluid salient formation in what are here essentially two dimensional configurations that present as planer structures. These additional structures include: Taylor-Couette flow, Langmuir Circulation, current ripples and drag folds, rainbands, cloud rows, plunging waves, the circulation of Jupiter’s atmosphere, density currents, haboobs, weir draperies, tornado swarms, plate tectonics, two-dimensional combustion fi
