The interplay between classical vorticity being the main undisputed source of polarization in heavy-ion collisions (HIC) and quantized vortices is considered. The vortex tubes emerging in the rotating pionic (super) fluid polarize the baryons in their cores and explain the emerging global polarization. The appearance of vortices in the region separating participants and spectators in non-central HIC is similar to that for sliding layers of liquid helium. From the other side, it is also the region where the classical vorticity was earlier found to be large forming the vortex sheets. The formation of tubes manifests a threshold at certain critical vorticity implying the vanishing polarization at lower energies. For central HIC the compact jet-like flows may lead to formation of vortex rings related to local polarization. The P-odd momentum correlations for their experimental investigation are suggested. The role of shear and viscosity in the emergence of polarization is discussed.

The formation of vortex rings at valve leaflets during ventricular inflow has been a topic of interest for many years. It is generally accepted nowadays that the purpose of vortex rings is to conserve energy, reduce the workload on the heart, and minimize particle residence time. We investigated these claims by testing three different levels of annulus angle for the mitral valve: a healthy case, a slightly angled case (20°), and a highly angled case (46°). Circulation was determined to be reversed in the non-healthy case, with a dominant counterclockwise rotation instead of clockwise. Viscous energy dissipation was highest in the slightly angled case, followed by the healthy case and then the highly angled case. A Lagrangian analysis demonstrated that the healthy case resulted in the least amount of stasis, requiring eight cardiac cycles to evacuate 99% of initial ventricle volume compared to the 16 and 13 cardiac cycles required by the slightly angled and highly angled cases, respectively.

Tandem configurations of two self-propelled flexible flappers of finite span are explored by means of numerical simulations. The same sinusoidal vertical motion is imposed on the leading edge of both flappers, but with a phase shift ( $\phi$ ). In addition, a vertical offset, $H$ , is prescribed between the flappers. The configurations that emerge are characterized in terms of their hydrodynamic performance and topology. The flappers reach a stable configuration with a constant mean propulsive speed and a mean equilibrium horizontal distance. Depending on $H$ and $\phi$ , two different tandem configurations are observed, namely compact and regular configurations. The performance of the upstream flapper (i.e. the leader) is virtually equal to the performance of an isolated flapper, except in the compact configuration, where the close interaction with the downstream flapper (i.e. the follower) results in higher power requirements and propulsive speed than an isolated flapper. Conversely, the follower's performance is significantly affected by the wake of the leader in both regular and compact configurations. The analysis of the flow shows that the follower's performance is influenced by the interaction with the vertical jet induced by the vortex rings shed by the leader. This interaction can be beneficial or detrimental for the follower's performance, depending on the alignment of the jet velocity with the follower's vertical motion. Finally, a qualitative prediction of the performance of a hypothetical follower is presented. The model is semi-empirical, and it uses the flow field of an isolated flapper.

AbstractThe evolution of the capillary breakup of a liquid jet under large excitation amplitudes in a parameter regime relevant to inkjet printing is analysed using three-dimensional numerical simulations. The results exhibit a reversal of the breakup length of the jet occurring when the velocity scales associated with the excitation of the jet and surface tension are comparable, and an inversion of the breakup from front-pinching to back-pinching at sufficiently large excitation amplitudes. Both phenomena are shown to be associated with the formation of vortex rings and a local flow obstruction inside the jet, which modify the evolution of the jet by locally reducing or even reversing the growth of the capillary instability. Hence, this study provides a mechanism for the well-known breakup reversal and breakup inversion, which are both prominent phenomena in inkjet printing. An empirical similarity model for the reversal breakup length is proposed, which is shown to be valid throughout the considered range of characteristic parameters. Hence, even though the fluid dynamics observed in capillary jet breakup with large excitation amplitudes are complex, the presented findings allow an accurate prediction of the behaviour of jets in many practically relevant situations, especially continuous inkjet printing.
