**OT** Spank,

I don't think the flush takes long enough for the Coriolis acceleration to work its magic on the contents. The direction of the flush vortex is determined more by the geometry of the bowl.

In fact, "the directed flow from the 'under-rim water jets' is an essential feature of the 'fecal particle removal and elimination subsystem'. It is part of the 'bowl surface cleaning and sewer gas blocking function', which is one of the parallel processes of the overall 'Manual Flush Cycle' mode of operation of the device."*

Coriolis effect is best viewed by looking at a simple sink drain where the water is free from man made external influences.

*From the upcoming bestseller "Women are from SeatDown, Men are from SeatUp".
