    • @ABitOfTheUniverse
      @ABitOfTheUniverse 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      N3rdSci3nc3 If you had a piston come out from the side of the pool and a layer of oil, say vegetable oil, thick enough to incorporate half the vortex ring, then you could test it. However, I suspect that the differing properties of the water and the oil will lead to instability of the vortex. The difference in physical properties; like the viscosity, density and compressibility, and even the chemical properties; like the molecular polarity, will lead to one half of the vortex ring lagging behind the other half. Friction between the two separating halves will lead to a loss of angular momentum as the water half of the vortex acts on the oil not in the oil's half of the vortex and oil's half of the vortex acts on the water not in the water's half of the vortex.
      Though it wouldn't hurt to perform the experiment and see for ourselves.
      Might have to reduce the size of the experiment a little, or find some where where oil and water are already being stored together where an apparatus can be submerged that would generate the vortex.
      Any ideas where such an experiment could be performed?

The amount of energy required to create a wormhole that bends space time is astronomical, perhaps as much energy as exists in the entire universe.

  • @alexlubbers1589
    @alexlubbers1589 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    ive done this with a much larger plate with a sharper concave edge, and i love colliding the half rings. if you do it just right, the spots will start to spread out, then seem to get so close that they seem to swallow each other up, and then dissapear. at night sometimes bubbles get caught in the collision, and it highlights the vortex line with the pool light, and the vortices sometimes expand to over four feet in diameter before "exploding". another cool thing that happens when the dips get really close is that they get deeper due to the faster spinning caused by the stretching half ring, and makes a weird gurgling noise. its quite fun when you are bored and you dont like cold water. :)

    • @Kram1032
      @Kram1032 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      kiysiy preservation of angular momentum, mostly. If you push water with a plate, it flows past the edge in a way that makes it rotate. You put angular momentum into the system (to do so, you must do work - not work in the everydaylife sense but in the sense defined in physics, but in this case the two concepts allign nicely) and that is one of the quantities which is always preserved in a free system (i.e. a system no work is performed on). The conservation of angular momentum explains why it is so stable. And the shape comes to be because we are talking about rotations here. Square vortices generally don't form.
      Elliptical ones could form, I guess.
      And under special circumstances (seem for instance, some of the vortices on Jupiter) they may be hexagonal.

    • @wbeaty
      @wbeaty 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kram1032 Well, net angular momentum of the system is zero, and the dinnerplate isn't being torqued. It's like spinning up many pairs of flywheels, each CCW has a CW to cancel. But the net linear momentum isn't zero, so if you were floating in the pool, the Falaco half-ring gets momentum x, and your body gets equal momentum x in opposite direction. This illustrates that "vortex shedding" is the origin of thrust of propellers, rowboats, fish, and aircraft.

    • @Kram1032
      @Kram1032 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      wbeaty Is it net-zero? Obviously, if you only take the cross-section that is visible on the surface, the two disks rotate in opposite directions so their combined angular momentum is zero.
      However, if you look at the bottom of the vortex-half-ring, there you have a rotational direction which may not be cancelled out. - it depends on what the air flow above that does, I suppose. Though given that there is a medium change, I don't think the induced angular momentum completely cancels out. Since you do work on the system, I don't see why there definitely shouldn't be any.
      That being said, I can see the linear momentum being non-zero too. (Else, after all, it wouldn't move forward) and for a full ring at least, I can see how angular momentum overally would cancel out and only that momentum would remain.
      Now I'd love to see a version of this experiment where you can also see the air flow. I'd assume that an air-vortex would form just as well as a water vortex did in these experiments. However, I'd also guess that the air half of the vortex would move at a different speed (if it didn't, it would have two separate momenta for the different media which would be weird.) and it probably wouldn't be as stable?

      Physics Girl To be honest I am under the impression that there should be more of this kind of "explaining phenomena" in education. People should start with something like this and say "Why?" Then we learn the reasons why. Then we start to relate it to other things like tornadoes and smoke rings. I had no idea that smoke rings form because of this, nor that mushroom clouds form from the same phenomena. And I've got a degree in Theoretical Physics... xD
      I think education really needs to be revolutionised. But it's getting there I guess.

      yes you will get four if the plate would have two extra holes and the extreme holes will spin in the same direction and the middle ones would spin in other direction but the intresting part is the diameter of the vortex is independent of the diameter of the holes drilled on the plate it is completly a function of velocity with which the plate has been pushed

  • @abstract_ion
    @abstract_ion ปีที่แล้ว

    From my observations, what's happening is that when the change in velocity creates a shear there's also a change in pressures whereby the vortex formed is at a high pressure and as it diverges outwards from the root low pressures will rise and sink into the vortex to equalise the pressure. Chances are the reason it lasts so long is because of the volume of the pool that has to sink into the vortex; it has to match the entire volumes pressure for it to disappate. I might be wrong hen it comes to the pressure duration but the dynamics are similar to an anti-cyclone.

      Thank you! Honestly, I don't know much about fluid dynamics either. I think it's one of the most difficult branches of physics, and most undergraduates are not required to take any fluid dynamics classes. (I wish i had taken one in undergrad!) That's a very interesting question though. I would assume the vortexes would move at different speeds because the viscosity for the two fluid is different.

    • @DANGJOS
      @DANGJOS 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Physics Girl Yeah I was talking to my friend one time about how fluid dynamics, a seemingly important branch of physics, just doesn't seem to be required in undergrad or graduate school for physics. Engineers are the ones who take it. I'm still in undergrad (physics) perhaps I should consider it.

    • @TheinMoka
      @TheinMoka 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      This would be a neat experiment.
      I'm not fluid dynamics expert at all, but I can imagine that if the two fluids are at rest and that you're simply moving the ring as you've described, there would be a difference in the vortex speed, but the resulting difference may skew the ring out into a line, and possibly rotate it completely and repeat. I'm thinking of a ring forming into a line, then forming into a ring again, etc. and that's because there is no net external torque, so angular momentum is conserved, thus if the system rotates partially, it must rotate completely to conserve momentum. I think the reason we have a half ring in the video is because of the extreme case, where the bound viscosity difference is so much, that there is no angular velocity for the ring system itself, but given a critical viscosity ratio between the two liquids, there may be a case which the ring forms and reforms.
      Not sure! Fascinating question though.
