From: Jamming, fragility and pinning phenomena in superconducting vortex systems
Fragile phase flow. Vortex positions (circles) and trajectories (lines) in a system with \(n_{p} = 1.0\). The pinning site locations are not shown. We apply a drive pulse \(p_1\) of magnitude \(F_D=0.045\) along the x direction (black arrow) for a duration of \(\tau \) simulation time steps, followed by a drive pulse \(p_2\) of the same magnitude and duration along the y direction (red arrow). (a) Motion during \(p_1\), where there is a combination of pinned and flowing vortices. (b) Motion during \(p_2\), where the amount of flow is increased and the flow direction has rotated to follow the drive.
