A vortex molecule is a topological excitation in two coherently coupled superfluids consisting of a vortex in each superfluid connected by a domain wall of the relative phase, also known as a Josephson vortex. We investigate the dynamics of…
We present the general formulation of the relativistic fluid dynamics with vorticity (including relativistic superfluid) on a manifold with boundary. Making use of the Hodge decomposition, we emphasize that the equations of motion include a…
We develop a neutral vortex fluid theory on closed surfaces with zero genus. The theory describes collective dynamics of many well-separated quantum vortices in a superfluid confined on a closed surface. Comparing to the case on a plane,…
This paper investigates the vortex confinement property of the two-point vortex system in a planar domain. We compute the time over which initial point vortices around a stable stationary point remain within a slightly larger ball. In…
In this paper, we construct new, uniformly-rotating solutions of the vortex sheet equation bifurcating from circles with constant vorticity amplitude. The proof is accomplished via a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and a second order expansion…
We derive the vorticity equation for an incompressible fluid on a 2-dimensional surface with arbitrary topology embedded in 3-dimensional Euclidean space by using a tailored Clebsch parametrization of the flow. In the inviscid limit, we…
We study a dissipative extension of vortex-binary motion in a doubly periodic fluid domain. The underlying conservative system admits an exact integrable reduction to a single complex relative coordinate. Dissipation is introduced via a…
The dynamics of thin, non-circular droplets evaporating in the diffusion-limited regime are examined. The challenging non-rectilinear mixed-boundary problem this poses is solved using a novel asymptotic approach and an asymptotic expansion…
A popular model for a generic fat-cored vortex ring or eddy is Hill's spherical vortex (Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. A vol. 185, 1894, p. 213). Here we find an exact solution for such a spherical vortex steadily propagating along the axis of a…
Vortices are topological objects representing the circular motion of a fluid. With their additional degree of freedom, the 'vorticity', they have been widely investigated in many physical systems and different materials for fundamental…
The existence of thresholdless vortex solitons trapped at the core of disclination lattices that realize higher-order topological insulators is reported. The study demonstrates the interplay between nonlinearity and higher-order topology in…
In the present paper a description of a problem of point vortices on a plane and a sphere in the "internal" variables is discussed. The hamiltonian equations of motion of vortices on a plane are built on the Lie-Poisson algebras, and in the…
We consider a porous media equation with balanced bistable reactions, equipped with some general nonlinear boundary condition. When the coefficient of the reaction term is much larger than that of the diffusion term, we see that, besides…
We study how codimension-two objects like vortices back-react gravitationally with their environment in theories (such as 4D or higher-dimensional supergravity) where the bulk is described by a dilaton-Maxwell-Einstein system. We do so both…
We show that media with inhomogeneous defocusing cubic nonlinearity growing toward the periphery can support a variety of stable vortex clusters nested in a common localized envelope. Nonrotating symmetric clusters are built of an even…
An optical vortex, produced at one point in an optical beam, would propagate through an optical system to another point where the vortex can be used for some purpose. However, asymmetrical optical elements in such a system can cause…
We develop a kinetic theory for point vortices in two-dimensional hydrodynamics. Using standard projection operator technics, we derive a Fokker-Planck equation describing the relaxation of a ``test'' vortex in a bath of ``field'' vortices…
Describing the phenomena of the surrounding world is an interesting task that has long attracted the attention of scientists. However, even in seemingly simple phenomena, complex dynamics can be revealed. In particular, leaves on the…
A vortex-antivortex (VA) dipole may be generated due to a spin-polarized current flowing through a nano-aperture in a magnetic element. We study the vortex dipole dynamics using the Landau-Lifshitz equation in the presence of an in-plane…
The motion of two pairs of counter-rotating point vortices placed in a uniform flow past a circular cylinder is studied analytically and numerically. When the dynamics is restricted to the symmetric subspace---a case that can be realized…
