The Reynolds number provides a characterization of the transition to turbulent flow, with wide application in classical fluid dynamics. Identifying such a parameter in superfluid systems is challenging due to their fundamentally inviscid nature. Performing a systematic study of superfluid cylinder wakes in two dimensions, we observe dynamical similarity of the frequency of vortex shedding by a cylindrical obstacle. The universality of the turbulent wake dynamics is revealed by expressing shedding frequencies in terms of an appropriately defined superfluid Reynolds number, ${rm Re}_s$, that accounts for the breakdown of superfluid flow through quantum vortex shedding. For large obstacles, the dimensionless shedding frequency exhibits a universal form that is well-fitted by a classical empirical relation. In this regime the transition to turbulence occurs at ${rm Re}_sapprox 0.7$, irrespective of obstacle width.

In the limit of zero Reynolds number (Re), swimmers propel themselves exploiting a series of non-reciprocal body motions. For an artificial swimmer, a proper selection of the power source is required to drive its motion, in cooperation with its geome
tric and mechanical properties. Although various external fields (magnetic, acoustic, optical, etc.) have been introduced, electric fields are rarely utilized to actuate such swimmers experimentally in unbounded space. Here we use uniform and static electric fields to demonstrate locomotion of a bi-flagellated sphere at low Re via Quincke rotation. These Quincke swimmers exhibit three different forms of motion, including a self-oscillatory state due to elasto-electro-hydrodynamic interactions. Each form of motion follows a distinct trajectory in space. Our experiments and numerical results demonstrate a new method to generate, and potentially control, the locomotion of artificial flagellated swimmers.
In this Letter we suggest a simple and physically transparent analytical model of the pressure driven turbulent wall-bounded flows at high but finite Reynolds numbers Re. The model gives accurate qualitative description of the profiles of the mean-ve
locity and Reynolds-stresses (second order correlations of velocity fluctuations) throughout the entire channel or pipe in the wide range of Re, using only three Re-independent parameters. The model sheds light on the long-standing controversy between supporters of the century-old log-law theory of von-K`arm`an and Prandtl and proposers of a newer theory promoting power laws to describe the intermediate region of the mean velocity profile.
Modeling the effect of complex terrain on high Reynolds number flows is important to improve our understanding of flow dynamics in wind farms and the dispersion of pollen and pollutants in hilly or mountainous terrain as well as the flow in urban are
as. Unfortunately, simulating high Reynolds number flows over complex terrain is still a big challenge. Therefore, we present a simplified version of the wall modeled immersed boundary method by Chester et al. (J. Comput. Phys. 2007; 225: 427-448). By preventing the extrapolation and iteration steps in the original method, the proposed approach is much easier to implement and more computationally efficient. Furthermore, the proposed method only requires information that is available to each processor and thus is much more efficient for simulations performed on a large number of cores. These are crucial considerations for algorithms that are deployed on modern supercomputers and will allow much higher grid resolutions to be considered. We validate our method against wind tunnel measurements for turbulent flows over wall-mounted cubes, a two dimensional ridge, and a three-dimensional hill. We find very good agreement between the simulation results and the measurement data, which shows this method is suitable to model high Reynolds number flows over complex terrain.
We present the experimental realization of a long-lived superfluid flow of a quantum gas rotating in an anharmonic potential, sustained by its own angular momentum. The gas is set into motion by rotating an elliptical deformation of the trap. An evap
oration selective in angular momentum yields an acceleration of rotation until the density vanishes at the trap center, resulting in a dynamical ring with 350 hbar angular momentum per particle. The density profile of the ring corresponds to the one of a quasi two-dimensional superfluid, with a linear velocity reaching Mach 18 and a rotation lasting more than a minute.
Sliding phases have been long sought after in the context of coupled XY-models, as they are of relevance to various many-body systems such as layered superconductors, freestanding liquid-crystal films, and cationic lipid-DNA complexes. Here we report
an observation of a dynamical sliding phase superfluid that emerges in a nonequilibrium setting from the quantum dynamics of a three-dimensional ultracold atomic gas loaded into the P-band of a one-dimensional optical lattice. A shortcut loading method is used to transfer atoms into the P-band at zero quasimomentum within a very short time duration. The system can be viewed as a series of pancake-shaped atomic samples. For this far-out-of-equilibrium system, we find an intermediate time window with a lifetime around tens of milliseconds, where the atomic ensemble exhibits robust superfluid phase coherence in the pancake directions, but no coherence in the lattice direction, which implies a dynamical sliding phase superfluid. The emergence of the sliding phase is attributed to a mechanism of cross-dimensional energy transfer in our proposed phenomenological theory, which is consistent with experimental measurements. This experiment potentially opens up a novel venue to search for exotic dynamical phases by creating high-band excitations in optical lattices.
