Stretching Behavior of Knotted and Unknotted Flow Fields
Stefan Faaland, Diego Tapia Silva, Dustin Kleckner
Vortex stretching is a common feature of many complex flows, including turbulence. Experiments and simulations of isolated vortex knots demonstrate that this behavior can also be s…
Formation of Colloidal Chains and Driven Clusters with Optical Binding
Dominique Davenport, Dustin Kleckner
We study the effects of the optical binding force on wavelength sized colloidal particles free to move in a counter-propagating beam. This work is motivated by the concept of using…
Dynamics of Acoustically Bound Particles
Nicholas St. Clair, Dominique Davenport, Arnold D. Kim +1
It is well known that acoustic fields can produce forces on single particles, however they can also induce inter-particle forces due to multiple scattering events. This multi-parti…
Retention of rising droplets in density stratification
Tracy Mandel, De Zhen Zhou, Lindsay Waldrop +3
In this study, we present results from experiments on the retention of single oil droplets rising through a two-layer density stratification. These experiments confirm the signific…
Helicity in Superfluids: existence and the classical limit
Hridesh Kedia, Dustin Kleckner, Martin W. Scheeler +1
In addition to mass, energy, and momentum, classical dissipationless flows conserve helicity, a measure of the topology of the flow. Helicity has far-reaching consequences for clas…
How superfluid vortex knots untie
Dustin Kleckner, Louis H. Kauffman, William T. M. Irvine
Knotted and tangled structures frequently appear in physical fields, but so do mechanisms for untying them. To understand how this untying works, we simulate the behavior of 1,458…
