Two-dimensional turbulence generated in a finite box produces large-scale coherent vortices coexisting with small-scale fluctuations. We present a rigorous theory explaining the eta=1/4 scaling in the V is proportional to r(-eta) law of the velocity spatial profile within a vortex, where r is the distance from the vortex center. This scaling, consistent with earlier numerical and laboratory measurements, is universal in its independence of details of the small-scale injection of turbulent fluctuations and details of the shape of the box.

Nonlinear interaction of an acoustical wave with a counter-propagating weak shock.

During its propagation, a shock wave may come across and interact with different perturbations, including acoustical waves. While this issue has been the subject of many studies, the particular acoustic-acoustic interaction between a weak shock and a sound wave has been very scarcely investigated. Here, a theory describing the encounter of those two waves is developed, up to second- and third-order.

Singularity in a two-point complex coherence function, known as coherence vortices, represents zero visibility with a helical phase structure. In this paper, we introduce a novel technique to generate the coherence vortices of different topological charges by incoherent source transmittance with exotic structured binary pinholes. The binary pinhole structures have been realized by lithography, followed by wet etching methods.

The most prominent and persistent feature of the eastern Mediterranean Levantine Basin (LB) is the warm anticyclonic Cyprus Eddy (CE) located above the Eratosthenes Seamount (ESM). This eddy periodically couples with two smaller cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies, the South Shikmona Eddy (SSE) and North Shikmona Eddy (NSE), which form downstream. The reason for the zonal drift of the CE center and the formation mechanism of the CE, SSE and NSE is largely debated today, yet the upwelling and biological productivity of the LB can be strongly impacted by the local dynamics.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a photoresponsive active nematic fluid composed of microtubules and driven by kinesin motors, examined under blue-light illumination in a two-dimensional interface.
- Findings reveal that while uniform light conditions enhance active flows, spatially patterned activities disrupt the vorticity of the resulting flows.
- The research highlights the significance of the active length scale in influencing the flow properties and material integrity of the system, aiming to improve control over this complex material.
Hemodynamic microenvironment of coronary stent strut malapposition.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the micro-hemodynamic effects of strut malapposition in patient-specific stented coronary bifurcations.
Methods: Using the mapping-back technique, three-dimensional reconstructions of clinical post-stenting artery bifurcations with strut malapposition were accurately generated from optical coherence tomography scans of 9 patients. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were then conducted with these models to examine the impact of strut malapposition on various fluid dynamic parameters, including flow patterns, vorticity, strain rates, viscosity, and wall shear stress (WSS).
