Abstract

The formation of polygonal satellite vortices due to the rotation of the fluid by a bottom disk is studied. The results obtained for a normal fluid (water) are compared with that observed for pure electron plasma in Malmberg-Penning traps. The comparison shows similar patterns of vortices produced in two completely different systems, providing the experimental evidence of the direct analogy between the polygonal satellite vortices observed in a normal fluid and the vortices in pure electron plasma.
