According to recent research from Yerevan, Armenia, "A vortical
mechanism for the collimation and acceleration of astrophysical jets is
proposed on the basis of exact solutions of the hydrodynamic equations
in a homogeneous gravitational field taking viscosity into account."

"Velocity profiles in the form of a jet structure with a uniformly
rotating trunk whose pressure decreases in time, and longitudinal
and converging radial flows of matter, are examined. Because of the
radial flow, the angular velocity of the trunk and the velocity of
the longitudinal flow of matter can accelerate exponentially or in
the manner of an "explosive" instability," wrote M.G. Abrahamyan and
colleagues (see also Astrophysics).

The researchers concluded: "Flows of this type have low energy
dissipation and can serve as unique channels for the acceleration
and collimation of jet eruptions from young stars, as well as from
active galactic nuclei and quasars."

Abrahamyan and colleagues published their study in Astrophysics
(VORTICAL MECHANISM FOR COLLIMATION AND ACCELERATION OF
JETS. Astrophysics, 2008;51(3):357-371).

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
