Long-range spin transport in magnetic systems can be achieved by means of exchange-mediated spin textures with robust topological winding - a phenomenon referred to as spin superfluidity. Its experimental signatures have been discussed in antiferromagnets which are nearly free of dipolar interaction. In ferromagnets, which present with non-negligible dipole fields, however, realization of such spin transport has remained a challenge. Using micromagnetic simulations, we investigate exchange-mediated spin transport in extended thin ferromagnetic films. We uncover a two-fluidstate, in which the long-range spin transport by spin textures co-exists with and is stabilized by spin waves, as well as a soliton-screened spin transport regime at high spin injection biases. Both states are associated with distinct spin texture reconstructions near the spin injection region and sustain spin transport over large distances.
