Interactions between vortices and flexible walls
نویسنده
چکیده
We give two fundamental solutions for the motion of a point vortex near a flexible wall, up to first order in wall deflection, using computational methods. For a point vortex near an infinite horizontal wall, the deformation of the wall intensifies the flow at the wall near the vortex, and increases the speed of the vortex. Near a circular wall there is a strong mutual amplification of the deflection of the wall and the pressure force induced by the deflection, as the point vortex approaches the wall. The total force on the wall diverges as the inverse cube of the distance to the point vortex, and the induced speed of the point vortex diverges as the inverse fourth power of distance to the wall.

Interaction between superconducting vortices and a Bloch wall in ferrite garnet films.
A theoretical model for how Bloch walls occurring in in-plane magnetized ferrite garnet films can serve as efficient magnetic micromanipulators is presented. As an example, the walls' interaction with Abrikosov vortices in a superconductor in close contact with a garnet film is analyzed within the London approximation. The model explains how vortices are attracted to such walls, and excellent q...
متن کاملEmploying Internal Flexible Wall as Mass Absorber in Tanks Subjected to Harmonic Excitations
The possibility of employing internal wall as mass absorber in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to harmonic ground motion excitation is investigated in this paper. Internal walls are used in these tanks usually for service performance purposes, which could be used as mass absorber to control seismic demand on tank's exterior walls. Derivation of the response of the coupled system inclu...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Vortices on Cylinder
We investigate vortices on a cylinder in supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theory with hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. We identify moduli space of periodic vortices and find that a pair of wall-like objects appears as the vortex moduli is varied. Usual domain walls also can be obtained from the single vortex on the cylinder by introducing a twisted boundary condition. We can u...
متن کاملModel Problems for Fish Schooling
We review recent work on model systems for body-vortex and body-body interactions in a fluid, related to fish schooling. The studies show a variety of structured and disordered dynamics which can occur when vortices interact with passive and actively-driven deformable bodies. The energy savings due to body-vortex interactions depend strongly on the geometric arrangement of multiple bodies and/o...
متن کاملDimensionality crossover in magnetism: from domain walls (2D) to vortices (1D).
Dimensionality crossover is a classical topic in physics. Surprisingly, it has not been searched in micromagnetism, which deals with objects such as domain walls (2D) and vortices (1D). We predict by simulation a second-order transition between these two objects, with the wall length as the Landau parameter. This was confirmed experimentally based on micron-sized flux-closure dots.
