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 report recent results from a high resolution numerical study of fluid particles transported by a fully developed turbulent flow. Single particle trajectories were followed for a time range spanning more than three decades, from less than…

Flutter instability in an infinite medium is a form of material instability corresponding to the occurrence of complex conjugate squares of the acceleration wave velocities. Although its occurrence is known to be possible in elastoplastic…

Large clouds of atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) are known to exhibit spatiotemporal instabilities when the frequency of the trapping lasers comes close to the atomic resonance. Such instabilities possess similarities with stars and…

A qualitatively different manifestation of the Rayleigh instability is demonstrated, where, instead of the usual extended undulations and breakup of the liquid into many droplets, the instability is localized, leading to an isolated…

Our recent development of a novel research burner has made it possible to experimentally investigate truly unstretched and planar diffusion flames. Hence it has become feasible to directly validate theoretical models for thermal-diffusive…

Turbulent flows have been used for millennia to mix solutes; a familiar example is stirring cream into coffee. However, many energy, environmental, and industrial processes rely on the mixing of solutes in porous media where confinement…

In the high-Reynolds-number regime, this work investigates the long-time dynamics of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations near the Oseen vortex filament. The flow exhibits a strong interplay between vortex…

We simulate the nonlocal Stokesian hydrodynamics of an elastic filament which is active due a permanent distribution of stresslets along its contour. A bending instability of an initially straight filament spontaneously breaks flow symmetry…

Scroll waves are three-dimensional excitation patterns that rotate around a central filament curve; they occur in many physical, biological and chemical systems. We explicitly derive the equations of motion for scroll wave filaments in…

The stability of the ordered phase of the three-dimensional XY-model with random phase shifts is studied by considering the roughening of a single stretched vortex line due to the disorder. It is shown that the vortex line may be described…

Gradient catastrophe and flutter instability in the motion of vortex filament within the localized induction approximation are analyzed. It is shown that the origin if this phenomenon is in the gradient catastrophe for the dispersionless Da…

The growth rate of the filamentation instability triggered when a diluted cold electron beam passes through a cold plasma is evaluated using the quantum hydrodynamic equations. Compared with a cold fluid model, quantum effects reduce both…

Three dimensional (3D) Finite Time Lyapunov Exponents (FTLEs) are computed from numerical simulations of a freely evolving mixed layer (ML) front in a zonal channel undergoing baroclinic instability. The 3D FTLEs show a complex structure,…

The motion of several plates in an inviscid and incompressible fluid is studied numerically using a vortex sheet model. Two to four plates are initially placed in-line, separated by a specified distance, and actuated in the vertical…

We consider a wide class of approximate models of evolution of singular distributions of vorticity in three dimensional incompressible fluids and we show that they have global smooth solutions. The proof exploits the existence of suitable…

We consider a nonlinear model equation describing the motion of a vortex filament immersed in an incompressible and inviscid fluid. In the present problem setting, we also take into account the effect of external flow. We prove the unique…

We study chaotic behavior and diffusion in the 2D periodic Lorentz gas in the finite-horizon regime. The dynamical observable which we consider is the length of single particle's trajectories, which moves in a triangular array of rigid…

Motivated by the observation of highly unstable flowing states in suspensions of microtubules and kinesin, we analyze a model of mutually-propelled filaments suspended in a solvent. The system undergoes a mean-field isotropic-nematic…

We study desingularization of steady vortex rings in three-dimensional axisymmetric incompressible Euler fluids with swirl. Using the variational method, we construct a two-parameter family of steady vortex rings, which constitute a…
