The vorticity rotor field ${\bf B}=\mbox{rot}\,\mathbf{\omega}$ (di-vorticity) for freely decaying two-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence due to a tendency to breaking is concentrated in the vicinity of the lines corresponding to the…
We study two-dimensional turbulence in a square no-slip domain without bottom drag using direct numerical simulations. The dynamics are shown to depend strongly on the torque $M$ of the external forcing. When $M$ is relatively large, a…
The trajectory of a spherical object which falls freely in a gravitational field is fixed by its initial position and velocity. However, an object which can control its shape can also control its motion: Except where forbidden by symmetries…

A magnetized bead in a magnetic field seeks to minimize its magnetic free energy by aligning its magnetic moment with the field direction and by moving towards the maximum of the field's intensity. However, when the bead is coupled to a…
Spin plays a pivotal role in ball-based sports. Estimating spin becomes a key skill due to its impact on the ball's trajectory and bouncing behavior. Spin cannot be observed directly, making it inherently challenging to estimate. In table…
We consider domino tilings of 3D cubiculated regions. The tilings have two invariants, flux and twist, often integer-valued, which are given in purely combinatorial terms. These invariants allow one to classify the tilings with respect to…

We consider the motion of a rigid body immersed in an inviscid incompressible fluid. In 2D, an important physical effect associated with this system is the famous Kutta-Joukowski effect. In the present paper, we identify a similar effect in…
