Bravo!

I read the entirety of the Feynman paper that Ingo linked, but other than being
an enjoyable and education read, it didn't really seem like it hinted at the
polygonal vortex.

The papers you found are describing just what I was seeing!
I'm somewhat amazed that it's "a thing"!  :D

I might have to see if the same effect happens with RT water, or if the boiling
needs to be happening to observe the effect.
I hadn't even really thought about doing more in terms of viscosity or speed of
stirring.

The math paper will probably take me a good long time to digest and start work
on.

"I was boiling water...."

This also reminds me of the science papers that I found that explored pigmented
water drops evaporating on a flat surface, and the spontaneous knotting of a
string when shaken in a box.

Science.
