This shows one arm of a leapfrogging vortex in a superfluid, or simply spinning balls. It was a bit surprising to me to see 'friction' in a superfluid. But this is a known kinematic transfer of momentum, first formulated by Kelvin, and the result shows that the total momentum at any distance is conserved in this irrotational case.
