SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the creation of toroidal vortices by moving submarines. It confirms that poorly designed submarines can indeed generate significant toroidal vortices around themselves. The conversation highlights the ease of visualizing such vortices in controlled environments like swimming pools and suggests that similar effects may occur in smaller bodies of water, such as bathtubs. The implications of submarine design on vortex formation are emphasized as a critical factor in hydrodynamics.
