The structure of a quantized vortex in a Bose-Einstein Condensate is investigated using the projection method developed by Peierls, Yoccoz, and Thouless. This method was invented to describe the collective motion of a many-body system beyond the mean-field approximation. The quantum fluctuation has been properly built into the variational wave function, and a vortex is described by a linear com...

Abstract. The dynamic laws of quantized vortex interactions in the Ginzburg–Landau–Schrödinger equation (GLSE) are analytically and numerically studied. A review of the reduced dynamic laws governing the motion of vortex centers in the GLSE is provided. The reduced dynamic laws are solved analytically for some special initial data. By directly simulating the GLSE with an efficient and accurate ...

This study aims to develop an alternative vortex analysis method by measuring structure ofIntracranial aneurysm (IA) flow vortexes across the cardiac cycle, to quantify temporal stability of aneurismal flow. Hemodynamics were modeled in "patient-specific" geometries, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Modified versions of known λ2 and Q-criterion methods identified vortex reg...

In ([19, 20]), Tryggvason and Aref use a boundary integral method and the vortex-in-cell method to evolve the interface between two fluids in a Hele-Shaw cell. The method gives excellent results for intermediate values of the nondimensional surface tension parameter. The results are different from the predicted results of McLean and Saffman for small surface tension. For large surface tension, ...

We study the interplay between the local geometric properties and the non-blowup of the 3D incompressible Euler equations. We consider the interaction of two perturbed antiparallel vortex tubes using Kerr’s initial condition [14][Phys. Fluids 5 (1993), 1725]. We use a pseudo-spectral method with resolution up to 1536 × 1024 × 3072 to resolve the nearly singular behavior of the Euler equations. ...

This cumulative dissertation presents a complete model for simulating smoke using polygonal vortex filaments. Based on a Hamiltonian system for the dynamics of smooth vortex filaments, we develop an efficient and robust algorithm that allows simulations in real time. The discrete smoke ring flow allows to use coarse polygonal vortex filaments, while preserving the qualitative behavior of the sm...

We propose a new criterion to characterize hierarchical two-dimensional vortex regions induced by swirling motion. Central to the definition are closed loops that intersect the flow field at a constant angle. The union of loops belonging to the same area of swirling motion defines a vortex region. These regions are disjunct but may be nested, thus introducing a spatial hierarchy of vortex regio...

The phase states and phase transitions in a system consisting of a two-dimensional vortex lattice with defects are studied by the Monte Carlo method. It is shown that a “rotating lattice” phase, which is an intermediate phase between the vortex crystal and vortex liquid phases, is present. The dependence of the temperature of the transition from the rotating lattice phase into a vortex liquid o...

Results of a numerical simulation are presented to determine the feasibility of estimating the location and strength of a wake vortex from imperfect in-situ measurements. These estimates could be used to provide information to a pilot on how to avoid a hazardous wake vortex encounter. An iterative algorithm based on the method of secants was used to solve the four simultaneous equations describ...
