Abstract
The unusual phenomenon observed by D.I. Taylor and other researchers was explained. During the vortex motion of the liquid, the distributed component of the diffusing substance is concentrated only in the vortex core. The effect was explained in terms of our hypothesis that takes into account the dependence of the diffusing substance flow not only on the concentration gradients, but also on the vorticity of the liquid. The concept offers a new glimpse on natural and technical effects such as the tornado and the Ranque effect.
