Howdy David, Fun stuff, You may consider the parallels between induction ( an electrical term) and ionized air. I have found a friend in this method of thinking when reasoning liquid dynamics.Whenever I reach a level of what I believe is an understanding of fluid dynamics, I start the motor on our water test unit and watch the random vortex shed off the main vortex when ramping up the speed of the "inducer" . I have found that watching these supposed "random events" to repeat themselves which provides me a most interesting and a better visual picture of the term "induction". One of the best of the old time engineers in natural gas back in Houston many years ago, perhaps had a grasp.. he explained gas laws as being " fluid" which requires a certain amount of elastic in the brain in order to estimate how much "fudge factor" to add to make the equation balance <grin>.
