We study numerically nonuniform quantum turbulence of coflow in a square channel by the vortex filament model. Coflow means that superfluid velocity $\bm{v}_s$ and normal fluid velocity $\bm{v}_n$ flow in the same direction. Quantum…

The Euler equation of an ideal (i.e. inviscid incompressible) fluid can be regarded, following V.Arnold, as the geodesic flow of the right-invariant $L^2$-metric on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the flow domain. In this…
The evolution of a pair of point vortices in whole space, subject to the inviscid Euler equations for incompressible fluid flow, is solved exactly for rotationally symmetric initial conditions. This exact solution shows that the vortex…
A vortex is intuitively recognized as the rotational/swirling motion of the fluids. However, an unambiguous and universally-accepted definition for vortex is yet to be achieved in the field of fluid mechanics, which is probably one of the…
