Module 15
Vortex
1 – Turn the knob and observe what happens.
2 – Try to control the vortex!
You are witnessing the formation of a downward vortex!
The faster the flow speed, the longer the vortex cone. The vortex is wider at the top and takes a conical shape due to the pressure increasing from the top to the base.
Did you know...
Vortices occur in many natural phenomena such as whirlpools and oceanic eddies.
