can anyone tell me how the orifice diameter can affect the vortex forming ?
no much info from internet , thanks for help~

The orifice diameter has a direct impact on vortex formation. A larger orifice diameter creates a wider and stronger vortex, while a smaller orifice diameter produces a smaller and weaker vortex.
The optimal orifice diameter for vortex formation varies depending on the specific conditions and parameters of the system. In general, a larger orifice diameter will result in a more stable and stronger vortex, but it may also require more energy input.
Yes, changing the orifice diameter can affect the direction of the vortex. A larger orifice diameter tends to produce a clockwise vortex, while a smaller orifice diameter typically creates a counterclockwise vortex.
Fluid viscosity plays a role in the relationship between orifice diameter and vortex formation. Higher viscosity fluids tend to produce smaller and weaker vortices, while lower viscosity fluids can result in larger and stronger vortices for the same orifice diameter.
There is no specific limit to how large or small the orifice diameter can be for vortex formation. However, as the orifice diameter approaches zero, the vortex formation may become unstable and unpredictable. Similarly, as the orifice diameter becomes too large, the vortex may become too turbulent and chaotic.
