I understand what your saying and when you explain it that way, it is quite clear. On a practiced level, the largest washer I can find is 3" in diameter from McMaster-Carr. I would think that the closest I can get to 5.5 inches the better but, like the vortex, its strongest at the center and as one leaves the center it gets progressively weaker and when one arrives at the outermost point of the winding, it is at its weakest with little residual. I would think that at the apex of the turn is where it drops the most, say at around 2 1/2 inches from center, (depending on enclosure thickness and number of turns), though the sea still churns less, than at the center of a whirlpool.
There are a few hvac/sheet metal places around that I can try, thanks for the suggestion and what about the galvinizing layer on the steel, any effect, probably negligable.
Thanks again for all your help, as well as, the education. Its greatly appreciated and I will let you know how it all plays out.
