134: 245:." This pattern has long been studied in the laboratory, where the vortices are created by oil flowing past a cylindrical obstacle, making a string of vortices only several tens of centimeters long. Study of this classic "flow past a circular cylinder" has been very important in the understanding of laminar and turbulent fluid flow that controls a wide variety of phenomena, from the lift under an aircraft wing to Earth's weather. Here, the cylinder is replaced by 192: 541: 43: 549: 559: 413: 144: 364: 402: 99: 1526: 938: 133: 908: 1521: 1038: 955:{{FPC}} ''This Landsat 7 image of clouds off the Chilean coast near the Juan Fernandez Islands (also known as the Robinson Crusoe Islands) on September 15, 1999, shows a unique pattern called a " 1033: 160: 1346: 1516: 1088: 506: 1151: 1043: 1271: 1321: 165:
