Um, no?

This is a fine collection of links - much to learn! - but the connection between flow and gravitation is (in my understanding) limited to both being Green's function solutions of a Poisson problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green%27s_function

There are n-body methods for both (gravitation and Lagrangian vortex particle methods), and I find the similarities and differences of those algorithms quite interesting.

But the Fedi paper misses that key connection: they're simply describing a source/sink in potential flow, not some newly discovered link.
