Invariance properties of physical systems govern their behavior: energy conservation in turbulence drives a wide distribution of energy among modes, observed in geophysical or astrophysical flows. In ideal hydrodynamics, the role of…
We study the motion of a single helical vortex in an unbounded, inviscid, incompressible fluid. The vortex is an infinite tube whose centerline is a helix and whose cross section is a circle of small radius (compared to the radius of…

The velocity field within a steady toroidal vortex is found for arbitrary mean core radius and section ellipticity. The problem is solved by transforming to coordinates that define invariant sets. The method allows the properties of the…

Toroidal vortices are whirling disturbances rotating about a ring-shaped core while advancing in the direction normal to the ring orifice. Toroidal vortices are commonly found in nature and being studied in a wide range of disciplines. Here…

We investigate the collective dynamics of multivortex assemblies in a two dimensional (2D) toroidal fluid film of distinct curvature and topology. The incompressible and inviscid nature of the fluid allows a Hamiltonian description of the…
It has recently been established that a linearly-polarized optical vortex possesses spin angular momentum density in the direction of propagation (longitudinal spin) under tight-focusing. The helicity of light has long been associated with…
A general exact weak solution to the nonlinear equation of the conservation of the absolute vorticity in a thin layer of an incompressible medium on a rotating sphere is proposed. It takes into account the helicity of the point vortices and…

Resistive steady states in toroidal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), where Ohm's law must be taken into account, differ considerably from ideal ones. Only for special (and probably unphysical) resistivity profiles can the Lorentz force, in the…
