Water tornado mimics a protoplanetary disk To analyze the flow behavior at the water's surface, the research team introduced small polypropylene beads into the vortex.

Water Tornadoes Are Surprisingly Good At Modeling Planetary Formation Using a very simple setup, researchers were able to replicate Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

The National Weather Service (and the 3News Weather Team) says waterspouts are likely to pop up around Lake Erie through ...

Beachgoers and residents spotted a waterspout in the waters off Clearwater Beach on Monday. The National Weather Service (NMW ...

Flash floods don’t just rise — they move with crushing weight, carrying debris and building pressure over hours. Hydrologist Gregory Waller explains why the damage looks like the aftermath of ...

Flowing Water Can Do As Much Damage As An EF5 Tornado Water flowing at just over 6 mph has the equivalent force per unit area as air blowing at EF5 tornado wind speeds.

The water tornado orbits exhibited similar behavior, though with minor temporal fluctuations. Kepler's third law establishes a mathematical relationship between orbital period and orbital size.

Simple laboratory model for cosmic flows developed: 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 ...
