The centrifugal motion impels every particle in these vortices of each instant to fly off from the sun in a straight line; but it is retained by the pressure of those which have already escaped and form a denser sphere beyond it.
The planetary vortices contain sometimes smaller vortices, in which the satellites are whirled round their principal.
From his fingertips he saw whirls of violet light sweep out and away, as vortices might have been set in motion by a swimmer in a more liquid medium.
Yet, as the mechanism of vortices was a natural prelude to the law of Newton, so the decrements of Hauey prepared the way for the wider views of the German crystallographers.
The free passage of comets through the spaces in which these vortices should have been, convinced men that these vortices did not exist.
Tornadoes and mighty cyclones and vortices torned and cycled vorted.
Thomson has founded on Helmholtz's splendid hydrodynamical theorems, seeks for the properties of molecules in the ring vortices of a uniform, frictionless, incompressible fluid.
Such a reduced and impoverished star is a planet; and the several planets of our solar system are the several vortices which from time to time have been swept up by the central sun-vortex.
Descartes's vorticeswas an attempt, a poor and imperfect attempt, at an explanation.
Possibly, gravity does part of the work, and the vortices of Descartes interfere with it.
In all these examples what have been called vortices are formed, and hence the name vortex motion has been given to all those cases in which the condition of irrotationality is not satisfied.
From the account of the nature of vortex-motion given above, it will be clear that vortices in a perfect fluid once existent must be ever existent.
Air vortices may be experimentally studied by means of a simple apparatus devised by Professor Tait, which may be constructed by anyone.
Still more beautiful vortices can be formed in water by using a long tank of clear water to replace the air in which the vortex moves, and a compartment at one end filled with water coloured with aniline, instead of the smoke-box.
In hydrodynamics also Lord Kelvin never lost sight of practical applications, even while pursuing the most intensely theoretical researches into the action of vortices or the propagation of waves.
The whirling vortices withdrew in some extraordinary way, the colour paled, the sound grew thinner, ever more distant, the great weaving designs dissolved.
The same play of brilliance shone and glistened everywhere, whirling, ever shifting as in vortices of intricate geometrical designs, dancing, interpenetrating, and with a magnificence of colour that caught his breath away.
Footnote 1: Investigations respecting coreless vortices will be found in a paper by the author, "Vibrations of a Columnar Vortex," Proc.
In this way, metaphorically speaking, a strong lens applied to Mrs. Cadwallader's match-making will show a play of minute causes producing what may be called thought and speech vortices to bring her the sort of food she needed.
This notion, it is plain, tended rather towards Descartes's theory of vortices than towards Newton's theory of gravitation.
The author, says Pecchio, treated his arid subject as Fontenelle did the vortices of Descartes, or Algarotti the Newtonian system of the world.
Thus the objection to Kepler's immaterial vortices is met and overcome by our conception of the Aether (Chap.
But, looking about them, they knew, in fact, that the vortices or concourses did and could involve but a small proportion of the society in which they occurred.
To both sects it seemed a thing to be striven for that as much of civil society as possible should be brought into these vortices or concourses; nay, the aspiration of both was that the whole world should be Christianized.
In the general welter or anarchy of opinion there were, of course, vorticesround particular centres, forming sects that either had, or might receive, definite names.
Every word was surcharged with restless energy; thoughts hot from the vortices of emotion.
Again, as on that night on the Manchester, Trent felt the heat of his words--words drawn from the vortices of emotion.
A hundred and fifty feet astern of the conning-tower the unseen propellers threw the water into vortices that went curling away down the long wake.
The water under the sterns of the Battleships was convulsed by whirling vortices as the great steel-shod bulks turned cautiously towards the entrance, like partners revolving in some solemn gigantic minuet.
The innumerable milliards of vortices in which the material of your body moves at such an amazing rate will not stand still when you are dead, nor even when every visible atom of your body has vanished from sight in the course of ages.
The vortices do nothing but dance, spin and whirl for ever through life, the farce; through death, the tragedy and through all the eternity of the epilogue.
I can tell you the direction of the vortices of which you are composed, for a time, while they are on their way to join other vortices in the dance of death.
The doctrine that the heavenly bodies were moved by vortices was successfully modified, so that it came to coincide in its results with the doctrine of an inverse-quadratic centripetal force.
Even now the voracious vortices were wolfing very considerable pieces of driftwood, and one had to keep a very sharp lookout to see the spewed-forth fragments reappear at all.
Every one of the vortices in this dual series of spinning "suckers" is more than one would care to take any liberties with if it could be avoided; and either line of whirlpools, taken alone, probably could be avoided.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "vortices" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
