A feed of tagged nodes. https://hexnet.org/blog <p> Interesting article from Science's popular science outfit about the Saturnine hexagon. While it is certainly an intriguing development, and a step forward from the well-known "spinning bucket" experiments, they should get back to us when they've made a hexagon 15,000 miles wide that lasts for 30 years. (Which, for practical purposes, one wouldn't expect any time soon.) Fluid dynamics can be vastly different at different scales. I would also like to know what the viscosity is of this "water" they speak of relative to the atmosphere of Saturn. </p> Fri, 09 Apr 2010 01:59:01 +0000 https://hexnet.org/content/saturn-style-hexagon-recreated-lab https://hexnet.org/content/saturn-style-hexagon-recreated-lab
