In my observance of fluid motion in nature, certain shapes and patterns most often come to mind: the thin wispy structure of an old cloud, a candle flame, roiling smoke from a smokestack, or wavy mirages in a pot of water soon after I turn the heat on. These patterns, and their manifestations, are still multilayered physical systems, with the effects of viscosity, inertia, baroclinicity, combustion, heat transfer, surface tension, reflection, and refraction all playing a role. Removing all effects, save inertia and baroclinicity, creates shapes of the kind seen in Droplet #7...Revisited.
