Hydrodynamic instabilities often cause spatio-temporal pattern formations and transitions between them. We investigate a model experimental system, a density oscillator, where the bifurcation from a resting state to an oscillatory state is triggered by the increase in the density difference of the two fluids. Our results show that the oscillation amplitude increases from zero and the period decreases above a critical density difference. The detailed data close to the bifurcation point provide a critical exponent consistent with the supercritical Hopf bifurcation.

A density oscillator exhibits limit-cycle oscillations driven by the density difference of the two fluids. We performed two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations with a simple model, and reproduced the oscillatory flow observed in experiments. As the density difference is increased as a bifurcation parameter, a damped oscillation changes to a limit-cycle oscillation through a supercritical Hopf bifurcation. We estimated the critical density difference at the bifurcation point and confirmed that the period of the oscillation remains finite even around the bifurcation point.
We discuss the origin of pathological behaviors that have been recently identified in particle-number-restoration calculations performed within the nuclear energy density functional framework. A regularization method that removes the problematic term s from the multi-reference energy density functional and which applies (i) to any symmetry restoration- and/or generator-coordinate-method-based configuration mixing calculation and (ii) to energy density functionals depending only on integer powers of the density matrices, was proposed in [D. Lacroix, T. Duguet, M. Bender, arXiv:0809.2041] and implemented for particle-number restoration calculations in [M. Bender, T. Duguet, D. Lacroix, arXiv:0809.2045]. In the present paper, we address the viability of non-integer powers of the density matrices in the nuclear energy density functional. Our discussion builds upon the analysis already carried out in [J. Dobaczewski emph{et al.}, Phys. Rev. C textbf{76}, 054315 (2007)]. First, we propose to reduce the pathological nature of terms depending on a non-integer power of the density matrices by regularizing the fraction that relates to the integer part of the exponent using the method proposed in [D. Lacroix, T. Duguet, M. Bender, arXiv:0809.2041]. Then, we discuss the spurious features brought about by the remaining fractional power. Finally, we conclude that non-integer powers of the density matrices are not viable and should be avoided in the first place when constructing nuclear energy density functionals that are eventually meant to be used in multi-reference calculations.
We report the experimental characterization of domain walls dynamics in a photorefractive resonator in a degenerate four wave mixing configuration. We show how the non flat profile of the emitted field affects the velocity of domain walls as well as the variations of intensity and phase gradient during their motion. We find a clear correlation between these two last quantities that allows the experimental determination of the chirality that governs the domain walls dynamics.
A thin-film model for a meniscus driven by Rayleigh surface acoustic waves (SAW) is analysed, a problem closely related to the classical Landau-Levich or dragged-film problem where a plate is withdrawn at constant speed from a bath. We consider a mes oscopic hydrodynamic model for a partially wetting liquid, were wettability is incorporated via a Derjaguin (or disjoining) pressure and combine SAW driving with the elements known from the dragged-film problem. For a one-dimensional substrate, i.e., neglecting transversal perturbations, we employ numerical path continuation to investigate in detail how the various occurring steady and time-periodic states depend on relevant control parameters like the Weber number and SAW strength. The bifurcation structure related to qualitative transitions caused by the SAW is analysed with particular attention on the Hopf bifurcations related to the emergence of time-periodic states corresponding to the regular shedding of lines from the meniscus. The interplay of several of these bifurcations is investigated obtaining information relevant to the entire class of dragged-film problems.

We quantify the notion of a dense soliton gas by establishing an upper bound for the integrated density of states of the quantum-mechanical Schrodinger operator associated with the KdV soliton gas dynamics. As a by-product of our derivation we find t he speed of sound in the soliton gas with Gaussian spectral distribution function.
