Eddy (fluid dynamics) In fluid dynamics, an eddy is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created when the fluid is in a turbulent flow regime.[2] The moving fluid creates a space devoid of downstream-flowing fluid on the downstream side of the object.
Battle of St. Kitts (1629) For the French capture of St.Kitts, see French capture of St.Kitts. For the Anglo-French battle, see Battle of Saint Kitts. The Battle of St. Kitts or St. Cristopher was a successful Spanish expedition that seized the islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis from the English and French during the Anglo-Spanish War (1625â30). By the year 1629, the colony had grown sufficiently to be regarded as a threat to the Spanish West Indies.
After the many attempts to settle Florida by the Spanish, it was beginning to seem like a hopeless goal. Almost as on cue after Tristan de Luna's failure in 1559, France had three ships en route to Florida by February 1562. Although France never owned Florida, she did have some effect on south Florida and the Keys. Some of the escaped Huguenots were captured in the vicinity of the Keys. A concurrent event in time is that William Shakespeare was born two years later on April 23, 1564.
