The characteristic formulation of the relativistic hydrodynamic equations (Donat et al 1998 J. Comput. Phys. 146 58), which has been implemented in many relativistic hydro-codes that make use of Godunov-type methods, has to be slightly…
A Beltrami field is an eigenvector of the curl operator. Beltrami fields describe steady flows in fluid dynamics and force free magnetic fields in plasma turbulence. By application of the Lie-Darboux theorem of differential geoemtry, we…
We characterize the thermodynamical equilibrium states of axisymmetric Euler-Beltrami flows. They have the form of coherent structures presenting one or several cells. We find the relevant control parameters and derive the corresponding…
A theory of two-dimensional plasma evolution with Beltrami-like flow and field due to baroclinic effect has been presented. Particular solution of the nonlinear two-fluid equations is obtained. This simple model can explain the generation…
For the Euler equations governing compressible isentropic fluid flow with a barotropic equation of state (where pressure is a function only of the density), local conservation laws in $n>1$ spatial dimensions are fully classified in two…
A quadruple Beltrami (QB) equilibrium state for a four-component plasma that consists of inertial electrons, positrons, lighter positive (H+) ions and heavier negative ions (O-2) is derived and investigated. The QB relaxed state is a linear…
We analyze the Navier Stokes equation, and show that all non-viscous, irrotational flows are barotropic. As far as we know, this has never been stated in the literature before, and indirectly suggests that vorticity is required to make…
We study metastable motions in weakly damped Hamiltonian systems. These are believed to inhibit the transport of energy through Hamiltonian, or nearly Hamiltonian, systems with many degrees of freedom. We investigate this question in a very…
We derive the frequency spectrum of the lowest compressional oscillations of a 3D harmonically trapped Fermi superfluid in the presence of a vortex lattice, treated in the diffused vorticity approximation within a hydrodynamic approach. We…
For certain families of fluid flow, a new conserved quantity -- stream-helicity -- has been established.Using examples of linked and knotted streamtubes, it has been shown that stream-helicity does, in certain cases, entertain itself with a…
The following principle of minimum energy may be a powerful substitute to the dynamical perturbation method, when the latter is hard to apply. Fluid elements of self-gravitating barotropic flows, whose vortex lines extend to the boundary of…
In a previous paper [I. Bena, M. Malek Mansour, and F. Baras, ``Hydrodynamic fluctuations in the Kolmogorov flow: Linear regime", Phys. Rev. E 59, 5503 - 5510 (1999)] the statistical properties of the linearized Kolmogorov flow have been…
An ideal compressible fluid is considered, with an equilibrium density being a given function of coordinates due to presence of some static external forces. The slow flows in such system, which do not disturb the density, are investigated…
In the vicinity of a massive object of various scales (ranging from young stars to galactic nuclei), mass flow creates a spectacular structure combining a thin disk and collimated jet. Despite a wide range of scaling parameters (such as…
We present the noncanonical Hamiltonian structure of the relativistic Euler equations for a perfect fluid in Minkowski spacetime. By identifying the system's noncanonical Poisson bracket and Hamiltonian, we show that relativistic fluid…
The phase space contraction and the entropy production rates of Hamiltonian systems in an external field, thermostatted to obtain a stationary state are considered. While for stationary states with a constant kinetic energy the two rates…
The decomposition of the energy of a compressible fluid parcel into slow (deterministic) and fast (stochastic) components is interpreted as a stochastic Hamiltonian interacting particle system (HIPS). It is shown that the McKean-Vlasov…
We present the hydrodynamics of fluids in three spatial dimensions with helical symmetry, wherein only a linear combination of a rotation and translation is conserved in one of the three directions. The hydrodynamic degrees of freedom…
Topological constraints on a dynamical system often manifest themselves as breaking of the Hamiltonian structure; well-known examples are non-holonomic constraints on Lagrangian mechanics. The statistical mechanics under such topological…
For inviscid fluid flow in any n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, new conserved vorticity integrals generalizing helicity, enstrophy, and entropy circulation are derived for lower-dimensional surfaces that move along fluid streamlines.…
