OCR: Through experimentation and observation of nature, Leonardo's keen ability to detect the patterns of water in motion revealed many new phenomena, some of which have only recently been understood. For example, we now know that when either water or air encounters a cylindrical shape positioned on a relatively flat surface, it forms two swirling flow patterns (vortices) that rotate in opposite directions along the sides of and beyond the cylinder.
