What happens when two incompressable flows intersect?
* If there is the minimum required radius surrounding the bucket ( top and side ), the air (tuft ) will be slammed against the surface, and pinned there by the attacking flow.
* The outcome of intersecting flows depend completely on the topography of their adjacent surface, local velocity, density, pressure, direction; upstream, downstream, above, below, axially in the boundary layer, and beyond, into the nearest local streamline. It's extremely conditional.
