The superfluid flow velocity is proportional to the gradient of the phase of the superfluid order parameter, leading to the quantization of circulation around a vortex core. In this work, we study the dynamics of a superfluid film on the…
Wave breaking is a critical process in the upper ocean: an energy sink for the surface wave field and a source for turbulence in the ocean surface boundary layer. We apply a novel multi-layer numerical solver resolving upper-ocean dynamics…
A quantum mechanical description of vortices in two dimensional superfluid $^4$He flims is presented. Single vortex creation and annihilation operators are defined and wavefunctions for these states are explicitly constructed. A hamitonian…

The basic building blocks of many forms of optical topologies are particle-like singularities in phase and polarisation, giving rise to lines of darkness that weave complex threads in 3D space. Although known for half a century since…
In the interstellar medium the turbulence is believed to be forced mostly through supernova explosions. In a first approximation these flows can be written as a gradient of a potential being thus devoid of vorticity. There are several…
This paper presents the results of a set of radiative hydrodynamic (RHD) simulations of convection in the near-surface regions of a rapidly rotating star. The simulations use microphysics consistent with stellar models, and include the…
Steady fluid flows have very special topology. In this paper we describe necessary and sufficient conditions on the vorticity function of a 2D ideal flow on a surface with or without boundary, for which there exists a steady flow among…
I study vortex ring oscillations in a superfluid, trapped in an elongated trap, under the conditions of the Local Density Approximation. On the basis of the Hamiltonian formalism I develop a hydrodynamic theory, which is valid for an…

Separated flows past complex geometries are modelled by discrete vortex techniques. The flows are assumed to be rotational and inviscid, and a new technique is described to determine the streamfunctions for linear shear profiles. The…
We investigate the bulk hydrodynamics of the chiral vortex matter on an arbitrary closed surface, extending the ideas of [20, 41]. Placing this important example of a chiral medium onto a curved geometry reveals the geometric nature of odd…
