Some circumstellar disks are observed to show prominent spiral arms in infrared scattered light or (sub-)millimeter dust continuum. The spirals might be formed from self-gravity, shadows, or planet-disk interactions. Recently, it was…

Quantized vortices have been observed in a variety of superfluid systems, from $^4$He to condensates of alkali-metal bosons and ultracold Fermi gases along the BEC-BCS crossover. In this article we study the stability of singly quantized…

We study the time evolution of sub-Keplerian transonic accretion flow onto a non-rotating black hole using a three-dimensional, inviscid hydrodynamics simulation code. Prior two-dimensional simulations show that centrifugal barrier in the…

We study an accretion disk in which three different regions may coexist: MHD turbulent regions, dead zones and gravitationally unstable regions. Although the dead zones are stable, there is some transport due to the Reynolds stress…

Context. Dynamical and turbulent motions of gas in a protoplanetary disk are crucial for their evolution and affect planet formation. Recent observations suggest weak turbulence in the disk's outer regions. However, the physical mechanism…

We report the composite vortex solitons of three-wave mixing propagate stably in a three-dimensional (3D) quasi-phase-matched photonic crystals (QPM-PhC). The modulation of QPM-PhC is designed as a checkerboard pattern. The vortex solitons,…
