In fluid dynamics, an eddy is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created when the fluid is in a turbulent flow regime. The moving fluid creates a space devoid of downstream-flowing fluid on the downstream side of the object. Fluid behind the obstacle flows into the void creating a swirl of fluid on each edge of the obstacle, followed by a short reverse flow of fluid behind the obstacle flowing upstream, toward the back of the obstacle. This phenomenon is naturally observed behind la
As far as I know, there is actually no difference between a vortex and an eddy. However, the words are used in different contexts: In turbulence you usually speak of eddies and these eddies decay to smaller eddies and so forth which forms a turbulent cascade. This has nothing to do with the type of fluid.
