One of the characteristic features of turbulent flows is the emergence of many vortices which interact, deform, and intersect, generating a chaotic movement. The evolution of a pair of vortices, e.g. condensation trails of a plane, can be…
The flow of superfluid $^4$He around a translationally oscillating sphere, levitating without mechanical support, can either be laminar or turbulent, depending on the velocity amplitude. Below a critical velocity $v_c$ that scales as…
