In the throes…
(There she blows)
[Verse 1]
The primary force
(Gravity)
Disturbances’ course
(Obviously)
[Bridge]
Have a fix
(Of vortex physics)
In the throes…
[Chorus]
Round and round
(She goes)
Where she stops
(Nobody knows)
[Verse 2]
Fluid dynamics
(Circular motion)
Fluid mechanics
(Spectacular notion)
[Bridge]
Have a fix
(Of vortex physics)
In the throes…
[Chorus]
Round and round
(She goes)
Where she stops
(Nobody knows)
[Bridge]
Have a fix
(Of vortex physics)
In the throes…
[Chorus]
Round and round
(She goes)
Where she stops
(Nobody knows)
[Outro]
I am in…
(Angular momentum)
Spinnin’
Round and round
(She goes)
Where she stops
(Nobody knows)
Round and round
(Faster and faster)
Round and round
(Round and down)
Faster and faster
ABOUT THE SONG
The vortex physics of a toilet flush are primarily governed by gravity, fluid dynamics and turbulence.
Key Physical Principles
- Gravity and Siphoning: The primary force driving the flush is gravity. When you flush, a large amount of water is rapidly released into the bowl. This rush of water fills the curved “trapway” (an upside-down U-shaped tube) at the base of the toilet, creating a siphon effect. This siphoning action rapidly sucks all the water and waste from the bowl down into the sewer line.
- Fluid Dynamics and Turbulence: The rapid, forceful entry of water into the bowl creates significant turbulence and circular motion (vortical motion). As the water is drawn toward the central drain hole, the rotation speeds up due to the conservation of angular momentum, similar to how a figure skater spins faster when they pull their arms in.
