... And if it won't form spontaneously with reversed flow, then will a vortex at least sustain itself once we nudge it in one direction?
You mean if it could be a time reversal phenomenon.Swamp Thing said:Summary:: ( Forward Flow --> vortex ) ==> ( Reversed flow --> vortex ) ??

A vortex is a swirling mass of fluid or air, typically taking the form of a spiral or whirlpool. It is created when a fluid or gas is forced to rotate around a central axis.
A vortex is formed when there is a difference in pressure between the center and the outer edges of a fluid or gas. This causes the fluid to rotate around a central axis, creating a spiral or whirlpool shape.
Yes, a vortex will form if you pump water up via the bathtub drain. As the water is pumped up, it will create a difference in pressure between the center and the outer edges of the water, causing it to rotate and form a vortex.
The formation of a vortex is affected by the speed and direction of the fluid or gas, as well as the shape and size of the container it is in. Other factors such as temperature and density can also play a role in the formation of a vortex.
Yes, there are different types of vortices, including free vortices, forced vortices, and combined vortices. These types differ in how they are formed and the forces that act upon them.
