We investigate the spatial distribution and dynamics of the vortices in rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a reduced Rayleigh-number range $1.3{\le}Ra/Ra_{c}{\le}166$. Under slow rotations ($Ra{\gtrsim}10Ra_{c}$), the vortices are…
We study numerically the evolution of the degree order and mobility of the vortex lattice under steady and oscillating applied forces. We show that the oscillatory motion of vortices can favor an ordered structure, even when the motion of…

We demonstrate that there is a long-range vortex-vortex attraction in ferromagnetic superconductors due to polarization of the magnetic moments. Vortex clusters are then stabilized in the ground state for low vortex densities. The motion of…
Vortex, the winding of a vector field in two dimensions, has its core the field singularity and its topological charge defined by the quantized winding angle of the vector field. Vortices are one of the most fundamental topological…
Granular crystallisation is an important phenomenon whereby ordered packing structures form in granular matter under vibration. However, compared with the well-developed principles of crystallisation at the atomic scale, crystallisation in…
Ring vortices are efficient at transporting fluid. They are often produced by ejecting a volume of fluid through a circular orifice. The impulse given to the vortex rings results in a propulsive force on the generator. Propulsive vortex…
