In order for a droplet to rebound rather than coalesce with a liquid bath, a layer of gas must persist throughout the impact. This gas, typically an air layer acts as a lubricant to the system and permits a pressure transfer between the two…
In a holographic superfluid disk, when the rotational velocity is large enough, we find a giant vortex will form in the center of the system by merging several single charge vortices at some specific rotational velocity, with a phase…
When a fluid system is subject to strong rotation, centrifugal fluid motion is expected, i.e., denser (lighter) fluid moves outward (inward) from (toward) the axis of rotation. Here we demonstrate, both experimentally and numerically, the…
