• Definitions:
• founder of Christian Science in 1866 (1821-1910) a miniature whirlpool or whirlwind resulting when the current of a fluid doubles back on itself flow in a circular current, of liquids
• In fluid dynamics, an eddy ford is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created when the fluid flows past an obstacle. The moving fluid creates a space devoid of downstream-flowing water on the downstream side of the object. ...
• A small volume of air (or any fluid) that behaves differently from the larger flow in which it exists.
• Swirling currents of air at variance with the main current.
• A current--usually behind a large rock or other obstruction in a stream or river--which is at variance with the main current. Water flow in eddies either stops or reverses and runs upstream from the main current. ...
• A current of water running contrary to the main, or host, stream.
• Water or air currents flowing in circular patterns.
• a section of water that is less disturbed than the surrounding water, found for example on the edge of a current or where two streams converge. Elk Hair - hair from elk which is used in many fly patterns to supply body and floatation. ...
• Area of usually calm water behind or downstream of an obstruction in the main current, where water flows counter to that of the main current.
• A small rotating area of water.
• By analogy with a molecule, a “glob” of fluid within the fluid mass that has a certain integrity and life history of its own; the activities of the bulk fluid being the net result of the motion of the eddies.
• Protected from the main current, these smooth sections of water are found behind obstacles (eg, boulders or bends in the river).
• A circular movement of water usually formed, where currents pass obstructions, between two adjacent currents flowing counter to each other, or along the edge of a permanent current.
• The quiet area behind a rock, pillar, bend in the river, etc. A good place to rest. The line where the whitewater meets the quiet eddy water is called the eddyline. ...
• a circular swirling of water, a whirlpool
• circular movement of water within and associated with a current
• a pocket of water downstream of an obstacle that flows back upstream
• eddy A calm pool in the river created by obstacles like rocks or bends in the river. The water in an eddy moves opposite of the main river current.
• a small volume of air that behaves differently from the layer that surrounds it, acting with a life of its own. An example would be a tornado, which has its own distinct rotation, but is different than the large flow of air surrounding the thunderstorm in which the tornado is born.
• a small, spinning air current that often develops when wind flows over buildings, mountains, or other obstructions
• A calm spot formed downstream of a rock or other obstruction in the riverbed. eddies may be still or may move upstream.
• A current of air, water, or any fluid, forming on the side of the main current, especially one moving in a circle; in extreme cases a whirlpool.
• An isolated, ring-shaped current of water.
• (Fishing) A calm spot next to a fast current, or in the case of a "back eddy," where the current switches direction.
• area behind or downstream of an obstruction in the main current where water swirls in a direction different to that of the main flow, usually upstream. Eddy In term used to describe entering an eddy. Eddy Line transitional area between the main current and the eddy current (see Eddy). ...
• individual transient element of turbulence-often pictured as a translating and rotating air parcel.
• A pool of more calm water which is out of the main current of a stream. Located behind obstacles in the river or near the shore, eddies are likely locations for upstream gates, since the paddlers would not have to battle the full force of the current to move through an upstream gate.
