An Experimental Exploration on the Applicability of Kepler's Laws to Water Vortex Motion

Authors: Wang Yi

This study aims to verify through physical experiments whether the fluid motion laws in a water vortex system conform to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Specifically, by quantitatively analyzing the orbital parameters of rotating spheres in the vortex, it examines the applicability of Kepler's third law (the ratio of the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbit to the square of the period is a constant) in fluid mechanics scenarios. It also explores the potential of water vortices as a macroscopic physical model for simulating the laws of celestial body motion.
