We investigate the stability of self-propelled particle flocks in the Taylor-Green vortex, a steady vortical flow. We consider a model where particles align themselves to a combination of the orientation and the acceleration of particles…
In incompressible and inviscid fluids, the vortex atmosphere refers to the collection of fluid particles outside the support of a traveling vortex that are nevertheless carried along with it. This phenomenon has been recognized since the…
Quantum vortices with more than a single circulation quantum are usually unstable and decay into clusters of smaller vortices. One way to prevent the decay is to place the vortex at the centre of a convergent (draining) fluid flow, which…
The aim of this work is to analyse the formation mechanisms of large-scale coherent structures in the flow around a wall-mounted square cylinder, due to their impact on pollutant transport within cities. To this end, we assess causal…
Motivated by recent experiments, we theoretically analyze the flow past an obstacle of a one-dimensional "quantum fluid of light" which is resonantly driven, and exhibits bistability. The flow is found to abruptly change several times when…
We investigate superfluid flow around an airfoil accelerated to a finite velocity from rest. Using simulations of the Gross--Pitaevskii equation we find striking similarities to viscous flows: from production of starting vortices to…
The present work examines the downstream vortex evolution behind a cascade of vortex generators producing counter-rotating vortices in a boundary layer of negligible streamwise pressure gradient. For the current study, which is an extension…
Bottlenecks occur in a wide range of applications from pedestrian and traffic flow to mineral and food processing. We examine granular flow across a bottleneck using particle-based simulations. Contrary to expectations we find that the…
We report the experimental observation of vortex leapfrogging in a two-dimensional fluid of light. By imprinting two vortex-antivortex pairs and tracking their real-time evolution through phase-resolved imaging, we observe a dynamics that…
Abrupt transition to turbulence may occur in pipe and channel flows at moderate flow rates, an unexpected event according to linear stability theory, and has been an open problem in fluid dynamics for more than a century. Extensive…
