The second law of thermodynamics posits that in closed macroscopic systems the rate of entropy production must be positive. However, small systems can exhibit negative entropy production over short timescales, seemingly in contradiction…

We investigate enstrophy variations by collapse of point vortices in an inviscid flow and, in particular, focus on the enstrophy dissipation that is a significant property characterizing 2D turbulent flows. Point vortex is an ideal vortex…

Self-organization creates new order and shifts sub-boundaries while reorganizing energy and entropy within a control volume. This article examines pathway selection and tests whether maximizing the entropy generation rate can forecast…
Following recent evidence that the vortices in decaying two-dimensional turbulence can be classified into small--mobile, and large--quasi-stationary, this paper examines the evidence that the latter might be considered a `crystal' whose…
We consider the hydrodynamic theory of an active fluid of self-propelled particles with nematic aligning interactions. This class of materials has polar symmetry at the microscopic level, but forms macrostates of nematic symmetry. We…

We develop a kinetic theory of point vortices in two-dimensional hydrodynamics taking collective effects into account. We first recall the approach of Dubin & O'Neil [Phys. Rev. Lett. 60, 1286 (1988)] that leads to a Lenard-Balescu-type…
Self-organization is a property of dissipative nonlinear processes that are governed by an internal driver and a positive feedback mechanism, which creates regular geometric and/or temporal patterns and decreases the entropy, in contrast to…
The properties of non-equilibrium magnetized plasmas confined in planar geometry are studied on the basis of the first principle microscopic Langevin dynamics computer simulations. The non-equilibrium state of plasmas is maintained due to…
Kinetic equations are derived from the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon (BBGKY) hierarchy for point vortex systems in an infinite plane. As the level of approximation for the Landau equation, the collision term of the kinetic equation…

The dynamics of ultralight dark matter with non-negligible self-interactions are determined by a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation rather than by the Vlasov equation of collisionless particles. This leads to wave-like effects, such as…
