Extract

In the general systems of vortices represented by (1) the mean variation in pressure is

where K is a number which varies between 1 and √2. When the vortices are confined to cubical partitions, the case most nearly analogous to that of free turbulence, K = 1·06, so that the conjecture which I made some years ago, that would be equal to is probably nearly correct.
