The Golden Ratio and Hydrodynamics
Boris Khesin, Hanchun Wang
TL;DR
This paper explores the application of the golden ratio in hydrodynamics, distinguishing between useful and useless instances, and analyzing the latter's mysterious role in point vortex dynamics.
Contribution
It provides a detailed discussion on the presence of the golden ratio in hydrodynamics, especially focusing on its seemingly useless but intriguing occurrence in point vortex systems.
Findings
Identifies useful golden ratios in traffic flow
Analyzes the mysterious golden ratio in vortex hydrodynamics
Highlights differences between useful and useless golden ratios
Abstract
There are useful and useless golden ratios. The useful one helps in traffic. The useless and rather mysterious one arises in hydrodynamics of point vortices, which we discuss in detail.
