Quantum vortices are often endowed with an effective inertial mass, due, for example, to
massive particles in their cores. Such “massive vortices” display new phenomena beyond …

In quantum fluids, the quantization of circulation forbids the diffusion of a vortex swirling flow
seen in classical viscous fluids. Yet, accelerating quantum vortices may lose their energy …

We show that the dynamical instability of quantum vortices with more than a single unit of
circulation results from a superradiant bound state inside the vortex core. We then reveal a …

At the interface between two fluid layers in relative motion, infinitesimal fluctuations can be
exponentially amplified, inducing vorticity and the breakdown of laminar flow. While shear …

A comprehensive overview of the basic principles of vortex dynamics in superfluids, this
book addresses the problems of vortex dynamics in all three superfluids available in …

In a 2D turbulent fluid containing pointlike vortices, Lars Onsager predicted that adding
energy to the fluid can lead to the formation of persistent clusters of like-signed vortices, ie …

We give a general review of recent developments in the theory of vortices in superfluids and
superconductors, discussing why the dynamics of vortices is important, and why some key …

At the interface between two fluid layers in relative motion, infinitesimal fluctuations can be
exponentially amplified, inducing vorticity and the breakdown of the laminar flow. This …

The motion of quantized vortices is responsible for many intriguing phenomena in diverse
quantum-fluid systems. Having a theoretical model to reliably predict the vortex motion …

Quantized vortices are fundamental to the two-dimensional dynamics of superfluids, from
quantum turbulence to phase transitions. However, surface effects have prevented direct …
