Shower-curtain effect [153] October 29, 2006 Stub There is still controversy over the cause of the shower-curtain effect. The impression is given by this article that the issue is settled. Following the links reveals several other "definitive" answers. One of the main hypothesized solutions is defined out of the equation by the article's opening sentence. No extensive testing has been done on the buoyancy hypothesis, so it should not be discounted. Numerous errors in interpreting the SciAm article have been found on the web.

The real-life "effect" is probably a combination of the various forces initially proposed as solutions for the observed effect. This would include buoyancy or thermal forces as well as vortex or entrainment/Bernoulli effects. Variety of shower curtains and shower geometries probably generate a unique balance of these forces for each shower.

Despite the extensive data backing the vortex force, no claim is made about the relative strength of this force compared to buoyancy forces. In real-life showers, buoyancy forces are often observed to dominate. More data is needed.
