Considering the vorticity formulation of the Euler equations, we partition the kinetic energy into its contribution from each pair of interacting vortices. We call this contribution the "interaction energy". We show that each contribution…
We start by surveying the planar point vortex motion of the Euler equations in the whole plane, half-plane and quadrant. Then we go on to prove non-collision property of 2-vortex system by using the explicit form of orbits of 2-vortex…

We examine long-time properties of the ideal dynamics of three--dimensional flows, in the presence or not of an imposed solid-body rotation and with or without helicity (velocity-vorticity correlation). In all cases the results agree with…
A vorticity surge event that could be a paradigm for a wide class of bursting events in turbulence is studied to examine how the energy cascade is established and how this event could serve as a new test of LES turbulence models. This…

We exploit new techniques for generating vortices and controlling their interactions in an optical beam in a nonlinear atomic vapor. A precise control of the vortex positions allows us to observe strong interactions leading to vortex…
Quantum vortices with more than a single circulation quantum are usually unstable and decay into clusters of smaller vortices. One way to prevent the decay is to place the vortex at the centre of a convergent (draining) fluid flow, which…
Based on everyday experience fluid flows tend to be ordered and quiescent if inertial forces are low and held in check by viscosity. This intuition spectacularly fails in the case of complex macromolecular fluids like polymer melts, paints…
