Abstract

In this paper we study classification of homogeneous solutions to the stationary Euler equation with locally finite energy. Written in the form u=Ψu = \nabla^\perp \Psi, Ψ(r,θ)=rλψ(θ)\Psi(r,\theta) = r^{\lambda} \psi(\theta), for λ>0\lambda >0, we show that only trivial solutions exist in the range 0<λ<1/20<\lambda<1/2, i.e. parallel shear and rotational flows. In other cases many new solutions are exhibited that have hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic structure of streamlines. In particular, for λ>9/2\lambda>9/2 the number of different non-trivial elliptic solutions is equal to the cardinality of the set (2,2λ)N(2,\sqrt{2\lambda}) \cap \mathbb{N}. The case λ=2/3\lambda = 2/3 is relevant to Onsager's conjecture. We underline the reasons why no anomalous dissipation of energy occurs for such solutions despite their critical Besov regularity 1/3.
