Superfluids are distinguished from ordinary fluids by the quantized manner the rotation is manifested in them. Precisely, quantized vortices are known to appear in the bulk of a superfluid subject to external rotation. In this work we study…
Based on the method of matched asymptotic expansion and on a time-dependent variational analysis, we study the dynamics of a vortex in the large-condensate (Thomas-Fermi) limit. Both methods as well as an analytical solution of the…

We consider Euler's equations for free surface waves traveling on a body of density stratified water in the scenario when gravity and surface tension act as restoring forces. The flow is continuously stratified, and the water layer is…
This paper proposes a simple new closure principle for turbulent shear flows. The turbulent flow field is divided into an outer and an inner region. The inner region is made up of a log-law region and a wall layer. The wall layer is viewed…
We consider the quasistationary Stokes flow that describes the motion of a two-dimensional fluid body under the influence of surface tension effects in an unbounded, infinite-bottom geometry. We reformulate the problem as a fully nonlinear…
The swimming of a sphere by means of tangential helical waves running along its surface is studied on the basis of the Stokes equations. Two types of tangential waves are found. The first of these is associated with a pressure disturbance…
This paper concerns the construction of traveling wave solutions to the free boundary incompressible Navier-Stokes system. We study a single layer of viscous fluid in a strip-like domain that is bounded below by a flat rigid surface and…
It is demonstrated that a standard coupled-mode theory can successfully describe weakly-nonlinear gravity water waves in Bragg resonance with a periodic one-dimensional topography. Analytical solutions for gap solitons provided by this…
