David Schmidt, an engineer at Massachusetts University, wanted to learn why his shower curtain wrapped itself around him when he washed. To explain this common phenomenon, he made a computer model of his bathroom that divided the shower area into 50,000 units. The software revealed that the shower spray created a vortex, and a low-pressure region at its centre sucked the shower curtain inwards. (from The Sunday Times 2005)
