The influence of odd viscosity of Newtonian fluid on the instability of thin film flowing along an inclined plane under a normal electric field is studied. By odd viscosity, we mean apart from the well-known coefficient of shear viscosity, a classical liquid with broken time-reversal symmetry is endowed with a second viscosity coefficient in biological, colloidal, and granular systems. Under the long wave approximation, a nonlinear evolution equation of the free surface is derived by the method of systematic asymptotic expansion.

The Hasimoto transformation between the classical LIA (local induction approximation, a model approximating the motion of a thin vortex filament) and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) has proven very useful in the past, since it allows one to construct new solutions to the LIA once a solution to the NLS is known. In the present paper, the quantum form of the LIA (which includes mutual friction effects) is put into correspondence with a type of complex nonlinear dispersive partial differential equation (PDE) with cubic nonlinearity (similar in form to a Ginsburg-Landau equation, with additional nonlinear terms). Transforming the quantum LIA in such a way enables one to obtain quantum vortex filament solutions once solutions to this dispersive PDE are known.

The parametrically driven Ginsburg-Landau equation has well-known stationary solutions-the so-called Bloch and Ne el, or Ising, walls. In this paper, we construct an explicit stationary solution describing a bound state of two walls. We also demonstrate that stationary complexes of more than two walls do not exist.

A model for an isothermal gel-liquid crystalline transition induced by ionic binding is proposed. A Ginsburg-Landau functional was used to describe the long-range order that spontaneously arises during the transition. By calculation of the corresponding chemical potential we obtain the mass current of phospholipids in gel-phase described by an order parameter.
