CFS course. Aerodynamics lesson, learning about vortices. Lecturer trying to show that speed of rotation increases the closer you are to the centre.

Lecturer: Imagine a spider in a bath. Pull the plug out, and the water starts to spiral around the plughole. What does the spider do as it gets closer to the plughole?

- Lecturer hoping for answer “it speeds up”

Stude: It panics.
