Scientists in Germany have created a simple but powerful experiment that uses a swirling water tornado in a tank to mimic how ...

A new laboratory experiment uses a water vortex to investigate how planets form from material in protoplanetary gas and dust ...

The pump is a commercially available aquarium device. The water flow causes the fluid to rotate, forming a vortex whose surface extends from the bottom of the tank to the wall of the upper, ...

A water tornado enables a realistic simulation of the dynamics of gas and dust in planet-forming discs. Kepler’s laws confirmed in a water tank: The orbits of floating particles follow the same ...
