Quantum fluids and solids

Drop impact                     Granular flows                       Superfluid/solid                 Wave/Turbulence

 

My activity on quantum fluids and solids is based on the analysis of the properties of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, also called the Non-Linear Schrödinger equation. It can be obtained as a mean field model of a quantum systems of atoms.
