This richly illustrated book explores the fascinating and ubiquitous occurrence of spirals and vortices in human culture and in nature. Spiral forms have been used as elements in the arts for thousands of years, whereas their role in nature and science – from DNA and sea shells to galaxies – is still a topic of investigation in numerous fields. Following an introduction to the cultural history of spiral forms, the book presents contributions from leading experts, who describe the origins, mechanisms and dynamics of spirals and vortices in their special fields. As a whole the book provides a valuable source of information, while also taking the reader on an aesthetic and scientific journey through the world of spiral forms.

We have an incredibly dynamic and loving relationship with Mother Earth. When we love, give and heal we co-create a new birth, a vortex, along with her. In Vortices and Spirals you will learn about this beautiful union, how you can nurture it to enhance your spiritual practice or become a better healer. In the journey you will develop a much deeper understanding of Mother Earth and come to see why the environmental crisis is also a crisis of our hearts.

This book can be looked upon in more ways than one. On the one hand, it describes strikingly interesting and lucid hydrodynamic experiments done in the style of the "good old days" when the physicist needed little more than a piece of string and some sealing wax. On the other hand, it demonstrates how a profound physical analogy can help to get a synoptic view on a broad range of nonlinear phenomena involving self-organization of vortical structures in planetary atmo spheres and oceans, in galaxies and in plasmas. In particular, this approach has elucidated the nature and the mechanism of such grand phenomena as the Great of galaxies. A number of our Red Spot vortex on Jupiter and the spiral arms predictions concerning the dynamics of spiral galaxies are now being confirmed by astronomical observations stimulated by our experiments. This book is based on the material most of which was accumulated during 1981-88 in close cooperation with our colleagues, experimenters from the Plasma Physics Department of the Kurchatov Atomic Energy Institute (S. V. Antipov, A. S. Trubnikov, AYu. Rylov, AV. Khutoretsky) and astrophysics theoreticians from the Astronomical Council of the USSR Academy of Sciences (AM. Frid man) and from the Volgograd State University (AG. Morozov). To all of them we wish to express our gratitude. Whenever we speak of "our experiments", the participation of the entire team is implied.

Nature's Twist is an exploration of the world based on spin, and in particular, the vortex. It is perhaps a little-known fact that everything spins, from quantum states to galaxies. Nature likes to generate vortices and form all sorts of spiralling shapes because of a fundamental law of physics that requires all bounded energy to rotate. On top of this, electrodynamics tells us that any rotating object will also self-magnetise, which adds an electrical dimension to the humble vortex. This turns it into a ubiquitous and versatile form that exhibits unique and essential properties necessary for the evolution and expression of life. The occurrence of the vortex at the smallest scales may even be responsible for the emergence of space and time, which form through spinning out of a deeper level of reality. When water is included in the world of spin, another fascinating level of interplay reveals more extraordinary properties. Besides water's ability to develop superfluidic or suctional properties, or to cleanse and re-energise itself through its spiralling motion, it can also form nano-structures and oscillating coherent regions that provide it with a unique ability to selectively absorb and emit energy, and information. This opens up new possibilities for understanding the latent potential and subtle capabilities of the human organism and for energy medicine in general. The vortex is a ubiquitous, dynamic entity that serves many functions on many scales. Spin is at the basis of all phenomena. Everything can be reduced to this simple flow of energy; a flow that forever twists, bends, and curls.

This book is a comprehensive and intensive monograph for scientists, engineers and applied mathematicians, as well as graduate students in fluid dynamics. It starts with a brief review of fundamentals of fluid dynamics, with an innovative emphasis on the intrinsic orthogonal decomposition of fluid dynamic process, by which one naturally identifies the content and scope of vorticity and vortex dynamics. This is followed by a detailed presentation of vorticity dynamics as the basis of later development. In vortex dynamics part the book deals with the formation, motion, interaction, stability, and breakdown of various vortices. Typical vortex structures are analyzed in laminar, transitional, and turbulent flows, including stratified and rotational fluids. Physical understanding of vertical flow phenomena and mechanisms is the first priority throughout the book. To make the book self-contained, some mathematical background is briefly presented in the main text, but major prerequisites are systematically given in appendices. Material usually not seen in books on vortex dynamics is included, such as geophysical vortex dynamics, aerodynamic vortical flow diagnostics and management.
