Abstract

We consider a family of approximations to the Euler equations obtained by adding (Δ)α/2(-\Delta)^{-\alpha/2} to the non-locality in the Biot-Savart kernel together with a mollification (with parameter ε\varepsilon). We consider the evolution of a thin vortex tube. We show that the velocity on the filament (core of the tube) in the limit as ε0\varepsilon\to 0 is given C(α,t)ακB+O(1)\frac{C(\alpha,t)}{\alpha} \kappa B + \mathcal O(1) where κ\kappa and BB are the curvature and binormal of the curve, and CC, C1C^{-1} are uniformly bounded.
