We investigate the properties of single vortices and of vortex lattice in a rotating dipolar condensate. We show that vortices in this system possess many novel features induced by the long-range anisotropic dipolar interaction between…
The JHU turbulence database [1] can be used with a state of the art visualisation tool [2] to generate high quality fluid dynamics videos. In this work we investigate the classical idea that smaller structures in turbulent flows, while…
The impact of a wedge-shaped body on the free surface of a weightless inviscid incompressible liquid is considered. Both symmetrical and unsymmetrical entries at constant velocity are dealt with. The differential problem corresponds to the…
Chiral active fluids consist of self-spinning particles that rotate as a result of a continuous injection of energy on the microscopic scale (e.g., by activity or an external field). The hydrodynamics of such fluids is described by…
Secondary flows are ubiquitous in channel flows, where small velocity components perpendicular to the main velocity appear due to the complexity of the channel geometry and/or that of the flow itself such as from inertial or non-Newtonian…
Symmetries and differential invariants of viscid flows with viscosity depending on temperature on a space curve are given. Their dependence on thermodynamic states of media is studied, and a classification of thermodynamic states is given.
Concept of curvature of liquid surrounding a spherical surface seems obvious in daily life, but based on earthly conditions everywhere. However, our understanding about the concept seems more transparent when we keep the system out of the…
The interplay between magnetic vortex polarity, chirality and the curvature of the underlying surface results in a dependence of the vortex polarity switching efficiency on the vortex chirality. The switching is studied numerically by…
Chiral active fluids show the emergence of a turbulent behavior characterized by multiple dynamic vortices whose maximum size is specific for each experimental system. This is in contrast to hydrodynamic simulations in which the size of…

In rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, columnar vortices advect horizontally in a stochastic manner. When the centrifugal buoyancy is present the vortices exhibit radial motions that can be explained through a Langevin-type stochastic…
In this article, we first investigate the kinematics of specific geodesic flows on two dimensional media with constant curvature, by explicitly solving the evolution (Raychaudhuri) equations for the expansion, shear and rotation along the…
We study collective excitations in rotating chiral media in presence of magnetic field both in hydrodynamic framework and in kinetic theory. We find that the velocity of the mixed Chiral Magnetic-Vortical Wave is a vector sum of velocities…
In this work, we provide two novel approaches to show that incompressible fluid flow in a finite domain contains at most a finite number vortices. We use a recently developed geometric theory of incompressible viscous flows along with an…
In ultra-pure materials electrons may exhibit a collective motion similar to the hydrodynamic flow of a viscous fluid, the phenomenon with far reaching consequences in a wide range of many body systems from black holes to high-temperature…
We consider compressible fluid flow on an evolving surface with a piecewise Lipschitz-continuous boundary from an energetic point of view. We employ both an energetic variational approach and the first law of thermodynamics to make a…
