What type of physics is it when water flows down a drain?
 
A lot of different types. Are you interested in the flow? In the pressure in the pipe? In the motion of the flow? What exactly are you interested in?

I'm interested in the flow of the water in the whirlpool-type motion. Could it be centripetal force?
