Since the early works[1-4] on the so-called nondiffracting waves (called also Localized Waves), a great deal of results has been published on this important subject, from both the theoretical and the experimental point of view. Initially,…
In this work, phase singularities embedded in a wavepacket are shown to act as sources of atypical localized oscillations when the packet interacts with a linear system. We refer to these oscillations as \textit{chirpons}, since they arise…

In this paper, the Kelvin wave and knot dynamics are studied on three dimensional smoothly deformed entangled vortex-membranes in five dimensional space. Owing to the existence of local Lorentz invariance and diffeomorphism invariance, in…
Vortex phenomena are ubiquitous in nature, from vortices of quantum particles and living cells [1-7], to whirlpools, tornados, and spiral galaxies. Yet, effective control of vortex transport from one place to another at any scale has thus…
SO(3) and SO(2) decompositions of numerical channel flow turbulence are performed. The decompositions are used to probe, characterize, and quantify anisotropic structures in the flow. Close to the wall the anisotropic modes are dominant and…
