This paper presents a parameter-free theory of shear-generated turbulence at asymptotically high Reynolds numbers in incompressible fluids. It is based on a two-fluids concept. Both components are materially identical and inviscid. The…
In two dimensions the microscopic theory, which provides a basis for the naive analogy between a quantized vortex in a superfluid and an electron in an uniform magnetic field, is presented. A one-to-one correspondence between the rotational…
Pure reconstruction phases, geometric and dynamic, are computed in the $N$-point-vortex model in the plane, for the cases $N=3$ and $N=4$. The phases are computed relative to a metric-orthogonal connection on appropriately defined principal…

An inertial mass of a vortex can be calculated by driving it round in a circle with a steadily revolving pinning potential. We show that in the low frequency limit this gives precisely the same formula that was used by Baym and Chandler,…
We perform numerical simulation of quantum turbulence at zero temperature generated by an oscillating sphere. In this simulation, we injected vortices on the sphere to generate turbulence. Although we prepare injected vortex loops of…
