Abstract

In this article, we consider clustered solutions to a semilinear elliptic equation in divergence form \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\varepsilon^2\text{div}(K(x)\nabla u)= (u-q|\ln\varepsilon|)^{p}_+,\ \ &x\in \Omega,\\ u=0,\ \ &x\in\partial \Omega \end{cases} \end{equation*} for small values of ε \varepsilon . Using Green's function of the elliptic operator div(K(x)) -\text{div}(K(x)\nabla) and finite-dimensional reduction method, we prove that there exist clustered solutions with cluster point 0 0 and cluster distance lnε12 |\ln\varepsilon| ^{-\frac{1}{2}} whose small-structure is governed by some functional HN H_N determined by K K and q q . As an application, we prove the existence of traveling-rotating helical vorticity fields to 3D incompressible Euler equations in infinite cylinders, whose support sets consist of helical tubes with small cross-section of radius ε \varepsilon and arbitrary circulation κ \kappa and concentrates near ``2N 2N '' and ``2N+1 2N+1 '' type of co-rotating helical solutions of nearly parallel vortex filaments model as ε0 \varepsilon\to0 , which justifies the result in Klein, Majda and Damodaran [1995, JFM] and generalizes results in Guerra and Musso [arxiv: 2502.01470]. Several kinds of solutions such as ``2 asymmetric'', ``2×2 2\times2 asymmetric'' and ``2×2+1 2\times2+1 asymmetric'' type of co-rotating helical filaments are also considered.
