Vortices in fluids and superfluids are fundamental to phenomena ranging from Bose-Einstein condensates and superfluid films to neutron stars and hydrodynamic micro-rotors, where background geometry often plays an important role. Curvature…
We predict that one- and two-dimensional self-bound quantum droplets, forming in Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) quantum corrections to the mean-field energy, may demonstrate exceptional mobility in…
We explore the velocity fluctuations in a fluid due to a dilute suspension of randomly-distributed vortex rings at moderate Reynolds number, for instance those generated by a large colony of jellyfish. Unlike previous analysis of velocity…
When an ensemble of particles interact hydrodynamically, they generically display large-scale transient structures such as swirls in sedimenting particles [1], or colloidal strings in sheared suspensions [2]. Understanding these…
In this work, we present experiments and simulations on the nucleation and successive dynamics of laser-induced bubbles inside liquid droplets in free-fall motion, i.e. a case with a free boundary in all directions. The droplets of a…
Drops of active liquid crystal have recently shown the ability to self-propel, which was associated with topological defects in the orientation of active filaments [Sanchez {\em et al.}, Nature {\bf 491}, 431 (2013)]. Here, we study the…
Advancing and receding angles are physical quantities frequently measured to characterize the wetting properties of a rough surface. Thermodynamically, the advancing and receding angles are often interpreted as the maximum and minimum…

In typical environments of star-forming clouds, converging supersonic turbulence generates shock-compressed regions, and can create strongly-magnetized sheet-like layers. Numerical MHD simulations show that within these post-shock layers,…
