Tony,
I believe that webpage has to be updated, along with all the others!
We never did come to a satisfactory rationale for the polygons, and so
only the phots have been published (in the Gallery of Fluid Motion).
We did measure the flux in the sheet, and found an azimuthal dependence
consistent with the form of the polygons. It appeared that the
axisymmetry
of the sheet was prompted by an instability at its sourse, i.e. at
the impactor.
The origins of this instability, however, remain unknown.
All the best,
John Bush
