A simple variational calculation is presented showing that a uniformly rotating barotropic fluid in an external potential attains a true energy minimum if and only if the rotation profile is everywhere subsonic. If regions of supersonic…

A new variational principle - extremizing the fixed frame kinetic energy under constant relative enstrophy - for a coupled barotropic flow - rotating solid sphere system is introduced with the following consequences. In particular, angular…

The following principle of minimum energy may be a powerful substitute to the dynamical perturbation method, when the latter is hard to apply. Fluid elements of self-gravitating barotropic flows, whose vortex lines extend to the boundary of…

We analyze stability conditions of "Maclaurin flows" (self-gravitating, barotropic, two dimensional, stationary streams moving in closed loops around a point) by minimizing their energy, subject to fixing all the constants of the motion…

Energy theory for incompressible Newtonian fluids is, in many cases, capable of producing strong absolute stability criteria for steady flows. In those fluids the kinetic energy naturally defines a norm in which perturbations decay…

The potential energy of a system in stable equilibrium has a minimum value. This property is used to derive a formula that is useful in determi- nation of stability of a floating body. It is found that a floating body is in stable…

The hallmark of superfluidity is the appearance of "vortex states" carrying a quantized metastable circulating current. Considering a unidirectional flow of particles in a ring, at first it appears that any amount of scattering will…

I find conditions under which the "Weak Energy Principle" of Katz, Inagaki and Yahalom (1993) gives necessary and sufficient conditions. My conclusion is that, necessary and sufficient conditions of stability are obtained when we have only…

Analogue systems are a powerful instrument to investigate and understand in a controlled setting many general-relativistic effects. Here, we focus on superradiant-triggered instabilities and quasi-normal modes. We consider a compressible…

We consider cosmological solutions to general relativity with a single barotropic fluid, where the pressure is a general function of the density, $p = f(\rho)$. We derive conditions for static and oscillating solutions and provide examples,…

The minimum-enstrophy theory of Bretherton and Haidvogel postulates that two-dimensional turbulent systems evolve to a state that minimises enstrophy at a fixed energy level. We extend this to the rotating spherical quasi-geostrophic…

We prove the nonlinear stability of homogeneous barotropic perfect fluid solutions in fixed cosmological spacetimes undergoing decelerated expansion. The results hold provided a specific inequality between the speed of sound of the fluid…

We compare dynamical and energetical stability criteria for vortex rings. It is argued that vortex rings will be intrinsically unstable against perturbations with short wavelengths below a critical wavelength, because the canonical vortex…

Protoplanetary disks with non-axisymmetric structures have been observed. The Rossby wave instability (RWI) is considered as one of the origins of the non-axisymmetric structures. We perform linear stability analyses of the RWI in…

We modify the approach of Burton and Toland [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. (2011)] to show the existence of periodic surface water waves with vorticity in order that it becomes suited to a stability analysis. This is achieved by enlarging the…

Irrotational relativistic vortex configurations in uniform subsonic motion with respect to a surrounding perfect fluid are analysed for the purpose of application to superfluid layers in neutron stars. Asymptotic solutions are found by…

To further confirm the causality and stability of a second-order hyperbolic system of partial differential equations that models the relativistic dynamics of barotropic fluids with viscosity and heat conduction (H. Freist\"uhler and B.…

We study two-fluid systems with nonzero fluid velocities and compute their sound modes, which indicate various instabilities. For the case of two zero-temperature superfluids we employ a microscopic field-theoretical model of two coupled…

We point out an error in recent work by Pao, Wu, and Yip [Phys. Rev.B {\bf 73}, 132506 (2006)], that stems from their use of a necessary but not sufficient condition [positive compressibility (magnetic susceptibility) and superfluid…

Motivated by numerical schemes for large scale geophysical flow, we consider the rotating shallow water and Boussinesq equations on the whole space with horizontal kinetic energy backscatter source terms built from negative viscosity and…
