capturing the watersplash !!!

Many a times have observed that in suburban stations, people casually cross the track, though the train could be seen at a distance ! – they mentally calculate the speed of the train without realizing that a fractional miscalculation could endanger their lives !!

 

In Cricket –  the funda is to watch the ball the time it leaves the bowlers’ hand !  There are players who hit the first ball mercilessly for a six ! – though it is stated that a batsman invariably has  0.4 seconds to react to a 90mph delivery.  Measuring the velocity of the ball through Radar Guns or Speed Guns is like measuring the speed of the moving car. This technique was discovered in 1947 by "John Baker".  Speed gun works on the principle of Doppler Effect. This Speed Gun has a receiver and a transmitter.  The   Speed Gun is placed on a high pillar near the Sight screen, from which Speed Gun sends radio wave in the direction of the pitch and calculates the speed of any object on the pitch. 

The idea is in essence basic trigonometry. Over time, you learn to associate that if a bowler releases the ball with his arm at 12 o'clock, the delivery would be full. If he releases the ball at 1 o'clock, it would be short. It's a process designed to consciously train the subconscious

 

Ever imagined how fast water can travel ! –we are not talking about river water but water being sprayed or splashed !!   The distance water travels in a stream per unit time is called the stream velocity. In general, mountain rivers are very fast, while lowland rivers are slow.   How fast is the water flowing down the stream,  can vary depending on the amount of water in the stream at any one point in time.  One need to understand the Science and concepts of :

 

•          Pressure Flow — a unit of volume moving past a certain point within a unit of time. Flow is measured in different units, depending upon its application.

•          Velocity — the distance of a given fluid within a unit of time, or how fast a fluid is moving.

•          Flow — equivalent to the velocity of the water multiplied by the radius of the pipe squared. The smaller the pipe, the greater the velocity at the same flowrate.

Never mind ! – no post on Cricket, Speed, Science or whatever but photo essay of Uriyadi thiruvizha at Thiruvallikkeni – posted here are some photos showing water splash, more would follow leisurely.

*உறியடி ஸ்ரீகிருஷ்ண பகவான் திருவிழா* - யாதவர்கள் மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் கொண்டாடும் பெருவிழா.  உறியடி திருவிழாவில் - ஒருவர் தன் கையில் உள்ள கொம்பு கொண்டு ஆடிக்கொண்டு இருக்கும் உறியை அடிக்க முயல - மற்றவர்கள் அவர் மீது - ஒரு கூம்பு வடிவு கொண்ட குழல் மூலம் தண்ணீரை வேகமாக அடிப்பார்கள்.  இது சாட்டை போன்று அடி விழும் .. .. .. இதன் வலிமையை தாங்க முடியாமல் மேலும் தலையை தூக்கி உறியை பார்க்க முடியாமல்  - ஆடுபவர் வெளியேறிவிடுவார்கள்.

The photos here are of the Uriyadi held in front of Sri Parthasarathi swami temple this evening with Sri Parthasarathi Emperuman watching it live in punnaikilai vahanam.
