vortices

The team surmised that vortices are the key to mobula rays' filter-feeding ability.

Smoke released from the leading plane allowed cameras installed in the towed aircraft to capture vortices in the air that a glider can exploit to stay aloft.

The formation mechanism is supported by observations of large, elongated cells in the genesis of other major vortices on Jupiter.

The 2022 study focused directly on Jupiter's cyclones, but Siegelman also saw wispy tendrils, known to researchers as filaments, in the spaces between the gassy vortices.

Examples of such structures are magnetic bubbles, skyrmions, and magnetic vortices.
