This question may be post before but i do not know the science behind it .Is it clockwise or anticlockwise ? Northen semi-sphere or southern semi-sphere ?

Or is it just in all direction towards the drain ?

  1. downwards.But its rotation & shape depends on the force of flow.  


  2. The Northern Hemisphere / counter clockwise rotation notion is an urban legend. The water will swirl in either direction depending on the ininitial  direction of the motivating flow. Drain from the bottom of a hemispherical bowl of standing water will go in either direction depending on the (even very small) currents still in it.

    The Coriolis force only acts on huge masses like hurricanes and typhoons.

  3. down, lol

    nah actually I don't think mine does any it just go's down. lol

  4. Don't know about you but my tap water flows downwards.  My toilet bowl, that's another question and without going to flush, I have no idea.
