Title : Studying the dynamics of the structure of a mollusk shell using the example of a bivalent ellipsoidal vortex
Abstract:
The study of the structure during the growth of mollusk shells allowed us to assume the existence of a divalent structure of an ellipsoidal vortex, in which the circulation distribution of the substance obeys the inversion law, the mechanism of which allows one to preserve its own angular momentum during chemical interactions during the construction of a crystalline structure – a cone-shaped mollusk shell in sea water of a certain salinity and density at a certain temperature. Here, in the presence of organic matter, calcium reacts with carbon dioxide, forming a mineral phase. The latter, depending on the composition and structure of the organic matrix (on which crystallization of calcium carbonates occurs with the formation of the mineral part of a mollusk clam) takes the form of one of the calcium carbonates (calcite or aragonite).
The study of the crystal structure of mollusk shells suggests that the formation of the hard shell follows the law of vortex growth of fibers along the kernel. That is, thanks to the unique chemical construction data of the physical fields of a divalent ellipsoidal vortex, it creates peculiar tubular lines that grow along the surface of the “expanding” kern with a helical shear. A new geometric-topological closed vortex model has been proposed to explain the growth and formation of mollusks in sea water.
