Self-organizing Flow Technology- in Viktor Schauberger's Footsteps
 
This report tries to evolve a new perspective on the ideas of the Austriannaturalist Viktor Schauberger, with the aid of concepts from modernresearch into chaotic and self-organizing systems. The focus of the reportis on modelling. With the aid of concepts like self-organization, free andforced vortex flow, chaotic pulsation, mathematical bifurcations andminimal surfaces, and with flow images like "handkerchief dynamics"and "toroidal vortex flow", we try to sketch a natural sciences perspectivethat comes close to Schauberger's.
 
We replicate the Stuttgart experiments with vortex generation andparticle separation, and give an overview of existing research in the area.
 
The report also covers applications such as oxygenation of water, e.g. infish ponds, bathing facilities, and sewage plants, and particle separation,e.g. in laundry plants, the food industry, and paper-mill industry. Someperspectives are also given on restoration of natural waterways and minorlakes or bays.

Preface
 
This report, originally published in 1997 in Swedish, is here available in English translationfor the first time.
 
During the years since this report was first published we have met interest in and gainedrenewed understanding into processes and perspectives that could be characterized asViktor Schauberger's.
 
As the report now exists in its second edition, we have kept the text much as it wasoriginally written. Some passages that were unclear we have tried to clarify and elucidate,and some errors and typos have been corrected, but mainly the text stands as it wasoriginally written.
 
We are happy that the renewed activity at the Institute of Ecological Technology hasmade it possible to publish the report at the institute.
 
A special thanks to Olof Alexandersson for his kind assistance and for having paved theway for the scientific study of the ideas and inventions of Viktor Schauberger.
 
We would also like to give a special thanks to the Department of Limnology at LundUniversity who furnished us with (some of their old) equipment for this project.
 
Thank you all of you who have supported us over the years, and who have made thisproject possible.
