Gravitational vortices and clump formation in Saturn's F ring during an encounter with Prometheus by Phil Sutton, Feodor Kusmartsev

“…Saturn rings are most beautiful and dynamic places in the solar system, consisting of ice particles in a constant battle between the gravitational forces of Saturn and its many moons. Fan, spiral, propellers, moonlets and streamer-channels observed by CASSINI in the F-ring have been attributed to encounters by Prometheus on the F ring, with investigations of optical thickness revealing large populations of transient moonlets. …”

Prometheus induced vorticity in Saturn's F ring by Phil Sutton, Feodor Kusmartsev

“…Many of which can be associated to interactions with nearby moons and moonlets. Possibly the most interesting and dynamic place in the rings, probably in the whole Solar System, is the F ring. …”
