A fluid entering a stationary pool results in a reactionary force upward per Newton’s Third Law. This cause the molecules to react in the positive y direction in a manner similar to Figure 2. These molecules would then continue to bounce in the \textit{y} direction until they assimilate into the pool. With a pool that is in motion, the molecules undergo the same reactionary force in the y direction however they undergo in a stationary pool but there is a second force created in the \textit{x} direction. This second force causes the molecules to then react along a resultant vector instead of the y \textit{y}  direction in the stationary pool. The second force is created due to the friction between the two surfaces of the fluid separated by a thin layer of air.
