We show by direct numerical simulations that the turbulence generated by steadily heating a long cylinder immersed in helium~II is strongly inhomogeneous and consists of a dense turbulent layer of quantized vortices localized around the…
Effective field theory descriptions of surface waves on flowing fluids have tended to assume that the flow is irrotational, but this assumption is often impractical due to boundary layer friction and flow recirculation. Here we develop an…
