Ray-wave structured vortex beams have attracted increasing attention due to their unique spatial geometric coupling to control complex orbital angular momentum (OAM). Still, current models were constrained by circular symmetry with limited modulation freedom. Herein, we propose a generalized class of ray-wave light fields called Mathieu geometric modes (MGMs) fulfilling the form of a stationary coherent state but based on a set of helical Mathieu modes (HMMs), in which geometrically tunable elliptical accelerating vortices are obtained by tuning their eccentricity-related parameters. MGMs also possess intriguing properties of coordinate transformation, self-healing, and multilayer tunable angular acceleration upon propagation. MGMs have higher degrees of freedom to control spatial accelerating vortices, paving the way for higher-dimensional optical tweezers and complex particle manipulation.

Magnetically connected observations of particle distributions and luminosity from the Reimei spacecraft are used to examine energy transport and conversion occurring above a discrete auroral arc. By combining imaging and in situ measurements it is shown how transverse electromagnetic and kinetic energy fluxes measured along the spacecraft trajectory converge across geomagnetic field-lines into the acceleration region. It is shown how cross-field energy transport is facilitated by the formation of vortices along the length of the arc.

Article Synopsis
  • - This research demonstrates how to create Poincaré polarization singularities that resemble tornadoes by combining two orthogonally polarized ring-Airy beams that possess orbital angular momentum (OAM).
  • - The singularities are influenced by phase vortices that align with the high-intensity areas of one of the beams, causing them to evolve along twisting and shrinking paths as they travel.
  • - They achieve angular acceleration rates exceeding 120 rad/mm, making these Poincaré tornadoes potentially useful in fields such as singular optics, wavefront manipulation, polarization engineering, and complex media imaging.

School of Water Conservancy and Transportation, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, 450001, China; Yellow River Laboratory, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, 450001, China. Electronic address:

In the management of urban drainage networks, great interest has been generated in the removal of sediments from sewer systems. The unsteady three-dimensional (3D) flow and turbulent coherent structures surrounding sediment reduction plates in a sewer system are investigated by means of the detached-eddy simulation (DES). Particular emphasis is given to detailing the instantaneous velocity and vorticity fields within the grooves, along with an examination of the three-dimensional, long-term, average flow structure at a Reynolds number of approximately 10.
