When a mommy vortex and a daddy vortex love each other very much, baby vortices appear.

How is it that's something so light as air can maintain its momentum against something so heavy as water? Is this phenomenon actually water spinning around the ring of air that we cannot see? Someone should do this and inject some dye in the water around the air ring.
On further thought it obviously has to be this. What we are really seeing are hollow vortex rings of water filled with air..

There's a pretty good video that Smarter Every Day did with vortex rings with dyed water and had them collide. He also goes over how they work it's pretty solid. Here's the video

Thanks. I want to see this phenomenon, Underwater vortex rings with air to see the vortex tube of water surrounding and spinning around the air.

It’s oddly similar to a black hole collision. They just morph into a bigger one 🙃

When you forgot to take out the diaphragm and put in another diaphragm and they merge to form a tiny diaphragm

Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make small rings bigger.

Nah didn't you see that small ring sink towards the end? That fucker got his mass taken them tossed to the curb like yesterday's trash.

I wonder if this is similar to magnetic fields merging?

u/more-duckling Mar 22 '23
Yes, it is! ... At least in the topological transformation -- magnetic reconnection involves current sheets, and such, but those are feeling pretty like the flows here...
The folding and baby vortex would also be related to the dynamo effect.

This just gave me the weirdest idea about how they could do something like this in the MCU with the sacred timeline. They way these colliding ended up spawning off a separate individual loop.

The fluid dynamics on this would be insane to try to simulate in a computer.
