This exploration is based on my work “incidental observation of a particular fluid dynamical phenomenon”. Until my phenomenotechnical efforts to reproduce this phenomenon will fruit, I conduct a pointless analysis of one aspect that is accessible to me by the nature of my documentation of this incidental observation: I measure the momentaneous velocities of the silver particles and with this the vorticity of the respective portions of the flow, even though the complex phenomenon cannot possibly be represented that way.
