Creation of an isolated turbulent blob fed by vortex rings
Takumi Matsuzawa, Noah P. Mitchell, Stephane Perrard +1
Turbulence is hard to control. A plethora of experimental methods have been developed to generate this ephemeral state of matter, leading to fundamental insights into its statistic…
Incompressible active phases at an interface. I. Formulation and axisymmetric odd flows
Leroy L. Jia, William T. M. Irvine, Michael J. Shelley
Inspired by the recent realization of a 2D chiral fluid as an active monolayer droplet moving atop a 3D Stokesian fluid, we formulate mathematically its free-boundary dynamics. The…
Flying in a superfluid: starting flow past an airfoil
Seth Musser, Davide Proment, Miguel Onorato +1
We investigate superfluid flow around an airfoil accelerated to a finite velocity from rest. Using simulations of the Gross--Pitaevskii equation we find striking similarities to vi…
The free surface of a colloidal chiral fluid: waves and instabilities from odd stress and Hall viscosity
Vishal Soni, Ephraim Bililign, Sofia Magkiriadou +4
In simple fluids, such as water, invariance under parity and time-reversal symmetry imposes that the rotation of constituent 'atoms' are determined by the flow and that viscous str…
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…
Helicity conservation by flow across scales in reconnecting vortex links and knots
Martin W. Scheeler, Dustin Kleckner, Davide Proment +2
The conjecture that helicity (or knottedness) is a fundamental conserved quantity has a rich history in fluid mechanics, but the nature of this conservation in the presence of diss…
