FORMATION OF LARGE FLUID VORTICES: CORPORATE MERGER OR HOSTILE-TAKEOVER?

Large, energetic vortex structures commonly form in irregular or turbulent two-dimensional flows. Familiar examples are Jupiter's Red Spot or hurricanes and typhoons on Earth. What is the mechanism that transfers energy from small-scale vortices to these often long-lived, large-scale circulation patterns?

Many suggestions have been made, such as a merger of small vortices into larger ones. According to this scenario, the process is similar to the consolidation or merger of many small corporations into a mega-corporation.

In a new paper, researchers verify by experiment and simulation a quite different mechanism based on elongation and thinning of small-scale vortices, stretched like taffy by large-scale strain. This process weakens the velocity of the small vortices and transfers their kinetic energy into the large-scales.

The thinning mechanism allows the large vortices to drain the energy of the smaller ones, squeezing them dry. Thus, the process is more like a hostile takeover of many small corporations by a larger one that strips their assets and liquidates them. According to the authors, the work provides quantitative models of how a population of small-scale vortices sustains on the large-scale circulations.

These results will help to model and predict formation of large-scale vortices in atmospheres and oceans

SEPP----------

THANKS FOR SENDING EUGENE'S ARTICLE. COULDN'T ACCESS THE URL POSTED BUT THE BRIEF COMMENT ON COUNTERROTATING VORTEX IS SUFFICIENT TO GRASP THE CONCEPT.

IN FACT, DURING THE PAST SEASON AND ESPECIALLY WITH WILMA AND RITA I HAD ESTABLISHED A THIN NETWORK OF ASSOCIATES WHO HAD SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE EFFECTS OF THE HARMONIZERS I PRODUCE TO CREATE A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN THE EXTENT AND SEVERITY OF DAMAGE FROM THESE TWO STORMS.

IN THE CASE OF RITA: WITH SEVERAL DAYS LEAD TIME AND CLOSELY FOLLOWING THE PROJECTED STORM TRACK SEVEERAL TIMES A DAY, I SENT A LARGE UNIT (HARMONIZER) TO AN OLD AND KNOWLEGEABLE CLIENT NEAR GALVESTON WHICH WAS THE TARGET POINT. THE UNIT ARRIVED A COUPLE OF DAYS AHEAD OF LANDFALL AND WAS IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO SERVICE. AS A RESULT OF THE 2500 MILE RADIUS OF THE HARMONIZER ENERGY FIELD THUS GENERATED, THE STORM TRACK SUDDENLY VEERED TO HOUSTON. THRU A VERY ACTIVE ASSOCIATE THERE, THE NETWORK OF A DOZEN OR SO ASSOCIATES WAS ALERTED TO ACTIVATE THE AGRICULTURAL HARMONIZERS IN THEIR CONTROL. THESE UNITS HAVE A FIELD RADIUS OF 65 MILES. CONSEQUENTLY RITA'S EYE COLLAPSED SOME TENS OF MILES OFFSHORE AS IT HIT THE LITERAL WALL OF ENERGY OF THESE UNITS.

I HAD EARLIER SENT ONE OF THE LARGER UNITS TO AN ASSOCIATE DISTRIBUTOR IN SARASOTA WHO ALSO HAD A SMALL NETWORK OF CLIENTS WITH THE SMALLER AGRICULTURAL UNITS. THESE WERE ALL ACTIVE DURING THE WILMA EVENT AND APPEARED TO LIMIT THE NORTHWARD TRACK OF THE STORM AND SEND IT OUT TO SEA WHERE IT PICKED UP VERY RAPID FORWARD MOTION TO THE NORTH AND QUICKLY DIMINISHED IN INTENSITY. 

AS A SIDE EFFECT OF THE SARASOTA ACTIVITY, THE RED TIDE PLAGUING THAT COAST DISSAPPEARED. THIS EFFECT HAD BEEN NOTICED IN SEVERAL COASTAL AREAS PREVIOUSLY WHERE HARMONIZER UNITS WERE DEPLOYED.

MY BEST ESTIMATE OF THE FIELD EFFECT OF THE HARMONIZERS IS THAT A SCALAR OR ETHER VORTEX IS FORMED WHICH COUNTERACTS THE HEAVIER ATMOSPHERIC ROTATION. IN ADDITION IT APPEARS TO NEUTRALIZE OR REVERSE THE ELECTRICAL CHARGE OF ATMOSPHERIC PARTICLES OR MOLECULAR CHARGE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS IS THE OPERATIVE FUNCTION OF THE HARMONIZER FIELD.

OUR FIRST OBSERVATION OF THE EFFECT ON HURRICANES WAS WITH BONNIE, SEVERAL YEARS BACK. THAT STORM STOPPED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS WITHIN AN HOUR OF ACTIVATING A HALF DOZEN SMALL UNITS AND STAYED OFF THE COAST OF NORTH CAROLINA WITH ONLY A BRIEF LANDFALL NEAR SOUTHERN VIRGINIA, THEN GOING ON OUT TO SEA AS IT MOVED NORTH TOWARD THE DC AREA WHERE QUITE A FEW UNITS WERE ACTIVE.

I CURRENTLY HAVE 6 OF THE LARGER UNITS (WHICH I CALL STORM CHASERS--SC'S) IN FLORIDA AND WILL TRY TO GET SEVERAL OUT INTO THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS FOR THE COMING SEASON.

IN ADDITION TO THE HURRICANE MITIGATION ASPECTS I WILL BE GETTING A HALF DOZEN OF THE SC'S INTO THE SOUTHEAST ASIA AREA TO QUELL THE BIRD FLU AND GENERALLY IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT.

KINDLY FWD THIS ON TO EUGENE.

A comment, received by email, from Albert Nickitin in Russia...

Dear Sepp,

It is always pleasant to receive from You something interesting.... :)

As to the publications dear Eugene Sittampalam, to me and earlier I was lucky to see some of them. I even wrote to him the letter, which remained without the answer... It is his sacred right, and as at us speak: "To the free man - will freedom, and rescued man - paradise" (probably, it is difficult to understand this linguistic russism of expressions?). But the impression is framed, that Mr. Eugene Sittampalam is the original thinker, theorist, but unfortunately has a little bit poor experience of practical (physical) experiments.

www.shedali.co.uk/ses/HurricaneMitigation.pdf (link no longer valid - Sepp)

I scanned the text on the site, indicated by You.... It is too much ungrounded allowances and unnecessary boundary conditions of a task. Completely not clearly, what for to mention any "neutrinos" for argument of the mechanism of formation hurricanes?? - The mechanism for a long time is known, it is difference of pressures of volatilizing water in the tropical seas. Naturally, thus the principles of self-organizing (pump of energy in generatored frame) work, the model well confirms by experiment. We know how to generate hurricanes!! And it is done in all university laboratories, where there is a faculty of acoustics or hydrodynamics.... Even children in the hot countries sometimes supervise nucleating tornados from fine sand, for this purpose it is not required "neutrinos". "Neutrinos" generally it is difficult not only to make "to work", but even and to register its by devices. For this purpose my colleagues specially went on lake of Baikal for underwater gaugings, constructed any artful devices, and then even sent them with the schoolboys (graduates of university) for one year in Antarctic Continent... :) As the Shambala wise men spoke: "It is possible to make of anything everything, and it is possible to make of all anything. But to make of anything everything, TIME is necessary. And that from all to make anything, infinity is necessary... " The hurricane is formed PROMPTLY, and "neutrinos" primely [have] neither "time", nor "infinity" for these purposes.

As the fishermen speak, "to catch a pike - us not a piece, this pike is important to know - WHERE! " (In Russian it sounds in a rhyme and funny @ naivety :) In other words, if we shall fix (in time) time and place of formation hurricane, it is enough to us to shoot in it by a missile with a puncheon of luccu oil inside. It is old, tested one thousand of years back method of struggle of the seamen with storm at ocean.

Well, and to frame vortexes we know how. It is possible, certainly to try to utillize them for quenching already existing! This idea in itself is quite sensible: to take away energy in one, to transmit it to another, which has similar feature fissile "invader" of energy.. But it [may be] troublesome... :))))

SEPP--THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNIY TO BE ON THE MAILING LIST.
RE: THE WEAPONIZATION OF SPACE--- ONE READERS SUGGESTION THAT WE MUST SOLVE THE GLOBAL WARMING PROBLEM IS PERHAPS ALREADY WELL ON THE WAY.
THIS PAST YEAR I DEPLOYED OVER A DOZEN OF MY LARGER POLLUTION CONTROL UNITS IN FLORIDA, ALONG THE EAST COAST AND IN THREE LOCATIONS IN THE CARIBBEAN.
THE RESULT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN THE ESSENTIAL ABSENCE OF HURRICANE STRENGTH STORMS IN THE ATLANTIC.
SMALLER UNITS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO LOWER THE SURFACE TEMPERATURES LOCALLY BY 2DEG.C.

Slim Spurling's comment (above) was first posted on a more recent article, and I copied it here as it's relevant to the topic of this post.

Here is a further comment I received from Slim:

SEPP-- I POSTED THE SITE ON TO BRIAN DESBOROUGH AND TREVOR CONSTABLE.
TREVOR OF COURSE IS THE MASTER RAINMAKER AND RESEARCHER ON THE REICHIAN CLOUDBUSTER TECHNOLOGY.

HE USES THE MAN MADE VORTEX TECHNOLOGY QUITE EFFECTIVELY TO INCREASE OR DECREASE STORM INTENSITY AND YIELD.

IN REGARDS TO THIS: IT APPEARS THAT THE (+) ION CHARGE IN THE ATMOSPHERE IS WHAT GENERATES THE LARGER VORTEXES OF HURRICANES AND THAT BY INVERTING THE CHARGE OR INCREASING THE DENSITY OF (-) IONS THE STRENGTH AND ROTATION CAN BE REVERSED.

DUST AND POLLUTION SEEM TO BE THE SOURCE OF (+) IONS WHICH GENERATE AND FEED THE CYCLONIC ACTION.

ADAM TROMBLY PUT ME ON TO THIS FROM AN ARTICLE HE PRESENTED AT HANS NIEPER'S CONFERENCE IN '82.

REGARDS...............SLIM............

slim, in regard to a vortex in a house or more directly where a person spends most of their time(their side of the bed, their recliner, etc.) is that individual producing an imbalance of + ions or is the vortex causing an imbalance in the person and therefore causing health issues? Best regards, Joanie

RESPONDING TO JOANIE......
THE MINI VORTEXES FORMED AT THE INTERSECTION OF GEOPATHIC STRESS LINES IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT HERE. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED AND INDEPENDENT VORTICES. THESE COLLECT + OR - IONS DEPENDING ON THE SPIN DIRECTION OF THE VORTEX.
THE LOCATION OF THESE IS ESSENTIALLY RANDOM AND ONLY COINCIDENTAL THAT THEY EXIST WHERE A PERSON SITS OR SLEEPS. THE PERSON DOES NOT CREATE THEM. IT IS THE HIGHER DENSITY OF + IONS THAT CAUSES THE IMBALANCE.
