We study the dynamics of vortex lattice formation of a rotating trapped Bose-Einstein condensate by numerically solving the two-dimensional GrossPitaevskii equation, and find that the condensate undergoes elliptic deformation, followed by unstable surface-mode excitations before forming a quantized vortex lattice. The dependence of the number of vortices on the rotation frequency is obtained. P...

We calculate stable arrangements for a single superfluid vortex pinned to the wall of a cylindrical container. We find that, independent of the details of the pinning site, stable vortices must subtend most of the cell horizontally and cannot be vertical or nearly vertical. More generally, the geometry of a container severely limits the possible vortex configurations, making macroscopic trapped...

Typically, metal particles are difficult to manipulate with conventional optical vortex (OV) tweezers, because of their strong absorption and scattering. However, it has been shown that the vortex field of surface plasmonic polaritons, called plasmonic vortex (PV), is capable of stable trapping and dynamic rotation of metal particles, especially those of mesoscopic and Mie size. To uncover the ...

We demonstrate self-trapped laser beams carrying phase singularities in nematic liquid crystals. We experimentally observe the astigmatic transformation of vortex beams into spiraling dipole azimuthons accompanied by power-dependent charge-flipping of the on-axis phase singularity. The latter topological reactions involve triplets of vortex lines and resemble pitchfork bifurcations.

Basing on the phenomenological model of the microwave response of thin superconducting films with trapped magnetic flux elaborated in Luzhbin et al 2005 Supercond. Sci. Technol. 18 1112-7, detailed analysis of the ac linear response of a superconducting strip-line resonator cooled down in FC and ZFC regimes is presented. Special emphasis on a nonuniform distribution of the trapped vortices and ...

We study the problem of an electron in two dimensions in the presence of a magnetic vortex with a step-like profile. Dependending on the values of the effective mass and gyromagnetic factor of the electron, it may be trapped by the vortex. The bound state spectrum is obtained numerically, and some limiting cases are treated analytically.

In the field of fluid engineering, controlling turbulent flows remains a crucial problem. This paper presents a basis of numerical methods and turbulence models for the large Eddy simulation. Simulation results include the unsteady analyses of complex flows, such as the vortex dynamics of turbulent jets subject to inlet perturbations and the reacting flow with flame propagation in a gas–turbine...

We address the question of whether an optical vortex can be trapped in a dielectric structure with a core of a lower refractive index than the cladding--namely an antiguide. Extensive numerical simulations seem to indicate that this inverse trapping of a vortex is not possible, at least in straightforward implementations. Yet, the interaction of a vortex beam with a curved antiguide produces in...

The Hamiltonian equation of motion is studied for a vortex occuring in 2dimesional Heisenberg ferromagnet of anisotropic type by starting with the effective action for the spin field formulated by the Bloch (or spin) coherent state. The resultant equation shows the existence of a geometric force that is analogous to the so-called Magnus force in superfluid. This specific force plays a significa...
