| Jun 28, 2012 at 15:38 | comment | added | Ron Maimon | The jet particles are going around and around the z axis along the integral lines of v--- the v is pointing around the z axis, so the particles are precessing, even though the velcocity at any point is not chaning in time. | |
| Jun 28, 2012 at 14:57 | comment | added | Colin McFaul | If there is no time dependence, then how is the jet precessing? I genuinely do not understand this. From your and @dmckee's comments, it sounds like I'm completely misunderstanding the question. If that's the case, then the question is badly written, and needs another edit. | |
| Jun 28, 2012 at 14:55 | comment | added | Colin McFaul | I have clarified what I meant by that. I did not mean to rotate the axes; I meant that this would rotate the initial state of the flow. | |

Clarified meaning of using the negative sign.
