Aims. Qualitative analysis of key (but yet unappreciated) linear phenomena in stratified hydrodynamic Keplerian flows: (i) the occurrence of a vortex mode, as a consequence of strato-rotational balance, with its transient dynamics; (ii) the…
In incompressible flow the viscous force is solenoidal, whereas the Madelung transform of a spinless Schr\"odinger equation produces only gradient forces. The two are orthogonal, so viscosity cannot arise from Hamiltonian quantum mechanics…
In the high-Reynolds-number regime, this work investigates the long-time dynamics of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations near the Oseen vortex filament. The flow exhibits a strong interplay between vortex…
Turbulence in three dimensions ($3$D) supports vortex stretching that has long been known to accomplish energy transfer to small scales. Moreover, net energy transfer from large-scale, forced, unstable flow-gradients to smaller scales is…
We construct the theory of dissipative hydrodynamics of uncharged fluids living on embedded space-time surfaces to first order in a derivative expansion in the case of codimension-1 surfaces (including fluid membranes) and the theory of…
In this article we consider viscous flow in the exterior of an obstacle satisfying the standard no-slip boundary condition at the surface of the obstacle. We seek conditions under which solutions of the Navier-Stokes system in the exterior…
Linear waves in bounded inviscid fluids do not generally form normal modes with regular eigenfunctions. Examples are provided by inertial waves in a rotating fluid contained in a spherical annulus, and internal gravity waves in a stratified…
We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of turbulent shear flows, with and without rotation, in the context of a simple but physically motivated closure of the equation governing the evolution of the Reynolds stress tensor. We show that the…

Odd viscous liquids are endowed with an intrinsic mechanism that tends to restore a displaced particle back to its original position. Since the odd viscous stress does not dissipate energy, inertial oscillations and inertial-like waves can…
