The distribution engendered by successive splitting of one point vortex are considered. The process of splitting a vortex in three using a reverse three-point vortex collapse course is analysed in great details and shown to be dissipative. A simple process of successive splitting is then defined and the resulting vorticity distribution and vortex populations are analysed.

We derive the asymptotic winding law of a Brownian particle in the plane subjected to a tangential drift due to a point vortex. For winding around a point, the normalized winding angle converges to an inverse Gamma distribution. For winding around a disk, the angle converges to a distribution given by an elliptic theta function. For winding in an annulus, the winding angle is asymptotically Gaussian with a linear drift term. We validate our results with numerical simulations.
A microscopic model able to describe simultaneously the dynamic viscosity and the self-diffusion coefficient of fluids is presented. This model is shown to emerge from the introduction of fractional calculus in a usual model of condensed matter physics based on an elastic energy functional. The main feature of the model is that all measurable quantities are predicted to depend in a non-trivial way on external parameters (e.g. the experimental set-up geometry, in particular the sample size). On the basis of an unprecedented comparative analysis of a collection of published experimental data, the modeling is applied to the case of water in all its fluid phases, in particular in the supercooled phase. It is shown that the discrepancies in the literature data are only apparent and can be quantitavely explained by the different experimental configurations. This approach makes it possible to reproduce the water viscosity with a better accuracy than the 2008 IAPWS formulation and also with a more physically satisfying modeling of the isochors. Moreover, it also allows the modeling within experimental accuracy of the translational self-diffusion data available in the literature in all water fluid phases. Finally, the formalism of the model makes it possible to understand the anomalies observed on the dynamic viscosity and self-diffusion coefficient and their possible links.
We derive a governing equation for a Kelvin wave supported on a vortex line in a Bose-Einstein condensate, in a rotating cylindrically symmetric parabolic trap. From this solution the Kelvin wave dispersion relation is determined. In the limit of an oblate trap and in the absence of longitudinal trapping our results are consistent with previous work. We show that the derived Kelvin wave dispersion in the general case is in quantitative agreement with numerical calculations of the Bogoliubov spectrum and offer a significant improvement upon previous analytical work.
We characterize statistical properties of the flow field in developed turbulence using concepts from stochastic thermodynamics. On the basis of data from a free air-jet experiment, we demonstrate how the dynamic fluctuations induced by small-scale intermittency generate analogs of entropy-consuming trajectories with sufficient weight to make fluctuation theorems observable at the macroscopic scale. We propose an integral fluctuation theorem for the entropy production associated with the stochastic evolution of velocity increments along the eddy-hierarchy and demonstrate its extreme sensitivity to the accurate description of the tails of the velocity distributions.
We provide a scenario for a singularity-mediated turbulence based on the self-focusing non-linear Schrodinger equation, for which sufficiently smooth initial states leads to blow-up in finite time. Here, by adding dissipation, these singularities are regularized, and the inclusion of an external forcing results in a chaotic fluctuating state. The strong events appear randomly in space and time, making the dissipation rate highly fluctuating. The model shows that: i) dissipation takes place near the singularities only, ii) such intense events are random in space and time, iii) the mean dissipation rate is almost constant as the viscosity varies, and iv) the observation of an Obukhov-Kolmogorov spectrum with a power law dependence together with an intermittent behavior using structure functions correlations, in close correspondence with fluid turbulence.
