Counterflows : paradoxical fluid mechanics phenomena /

"Counterflows play important roles in nature and technology. A natural example is the Gulf Stream and the opposite flow in the ocean depths. Technological applications include hydrocyclones, vortex tubes, and vortex combustors. These elongated counterflows are wildly turbulent but survive inten...
