In this paper, we study the point-vortex dynamics with positive intensities. We show that in the half-plane and in a disk, collapses of point vortices with the boundary in finite time are impossible, hence the solution of the dynamics is…
We study numerically the dynamics of two-dimensional vortex systems at zero temperature. In addition to pinned states and turbulent plastic flow, we find motion of vortices in rough channels along the direction of the driving force. In this…
The motion of tiny heavy particles transported in a co-rotating vortex pair, with or without particle inertia and sedimentation, is investigated. The dynamics of non-inertial sedimenting particles is shown to be chaotic, under the combined…
We study the instability of a superfluid flow through a constriction in three spatial dimensions. We consider a Bose-Einstein condensate at zero temperature in two different geometries: a straight waveguide and a torus. The constriction…
A general system of particles (of one or several species) on a one dimensional lattice with boundaries is considered. Two general behaviors of such systems are investigated. The stationary behavior of the system, and the dominant way of the…

We study the dynamics of vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate within a rotating four-site lattice which can be effectively described by a multimode model. Such a vortex dynamics develops along the low-density paths that separate the…
We discuss the relation between three recent approaches of describing the dynamics and the spatial distribution of particles suspended in turbulent flows: phase-space singularities in the inertial particle dynamics (caustics), real-space…
We derive an exact equation of motion for a non-relativistic vortex in two- and three-dimensional models with a complex field. The velocity is given in terms of gradients of the complex field at the vortex position. We discuss the problem…
We derive the dynamics of several rigid bodies of arbitrary shape in a 2-dimensional inviscid and incompressible fluid, whose vorticity field is given by point vortices. We adopt the idea of Vankerschaver et al. (2009) to derive the…

We develop the kinetic theory of point vortices in two-dimensional hydrodynamics and illustrate the main results of the theory with numerical simulations. We first consider the evolution of the system "as a whole" and show that the…
We analyze the dynamics of BPS 3-vortex solutions. First, for unexcited vortices, we study the 2-dimensional moduli space of centred vortices with $y \to -y$ symmetry, and its metric. We identify the 1-dimensional subspaces describing the…
We investigate the presence of vortex solutions in potentials without vacuum state. The study is conducted considering Maxwell and Chern-Simons dynamics. Also, we use a first order formalism that helps us to find the solutions and their…
We present a systematic theoretical analysis of the motion of a pair of straight counter-rotating vortex lines within a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. We introduce the dynamical equations of motion, identify the associated conserved…
We study a harmonically-confined Bose-Einstein condensate under rotation. Vortex lattice configurations are investigated through a variational approach. Vortices with more than a unit of angular momentum are not stable. We explicitly show…
Particle sedimentation in the vicinity of a fixed horizontal vortex with time-dependent intensity can be chaotic, provided gravity is sufficient to displace the particle cloud while the vortex is off or weak. This "stretch, sediment and…
We consider the dynamics of lattices which have constrained constitutive units flexible in only their mutual orientations. A continuum description is derived through which it is shown that the models have zero shear velocity, free-particle…

Recent experimental studies have shown that confinement can profoundly affect self-organization in semi-dilute active suspensions, leading to striking features such as the formation of steady and spontaneous vortices in circular domains and…
