Abstract:
This doesn’t seem to have received much attention since Kelvin in the 1800s, possibly because although the equations are simple, solving them seems hard in general. A progressive 1D, 2D, and 3D sequence of introductory special cases, though, exposes, for a torus geometry, an unexpected ‘magic’ wall phenomenon.
