Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a vortex in liquid collects suspended particles in its center?

Yes. Evidence from fluid dynamics confirms that fluid vortices collect and accumulate suspended particles toward their center or core regions.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked 4 Aug 2026

The analysis

Paper [1] analytically and numerically demonstrates particle accumulation in a circular vortex, and Paper [4] discusses particle capture within vortex structures. No papers contradict this physical principle.
