Physicists Discover What Happens Inside a Stable Vortex
Large vortices with characteristic spiral arms are often observed in the atmosphere and the ocean. Physicists from HSE University have explained how these structures form and why they retain their shape. The researchers found that velocities at points located along the same vortex arc remain correlated even over long distances. At the same time, this correlation weakens rapidly with increasing distance from the vortex centre. These differences help explain the formation of spiral arms and may improve models of atmospheric and oceanic currents. The findings have been published in Physical Review Fluids.

New Glyphic Appellatives of the Rain God

P. 351–371.
Beliaev D., Davletshin A., Vepretskii S.

In this paper we present evidence for previously unknown appellatives of the Rain God: K’ahk’ Hoplaj Chan Chaahk, K’ahk’ Hoplaj Chan Yopaat and K’ahk’ Mison Chaahk. These names describe aspects of the Rain God related to meteorological phenomena, such as lightning and hurricanes. We also provide arguments for the readings of two new logograms HOP (‘burn’) and KAMIS (‘centipede’).
