3D Knotted vortices in real fluids

Supplementary videos from the paper “Creation and dynamics of knotted vortices,“ authored by Dustin Kleckner and William T. M. Irvine, published in Nature Physics (2013) Abstract “Knots and links have been conjectured to play a fundamental role in a wide range of physical fields, including plasmas and fluids, both quantum and classical. In fluids, the fundamental knottedness-carrying excitations occur in the form of linked and knotted vortex loops, which have been
