Global time evolution of concentrated vortex rings
Abstract
We study the time evolution of an incompressible fluid with axial symmetry without swirl, assuming initial data such that the initial vorticity is very concentrated inside small disjoint rings of thickness and vorticity mass of the order of . When we show that the motion of each vortex ring converges to a simple translation with constant speed (depending on the single ring) along the symmetry axis. We obtain a sharp localization of the vorticity support at time in the radial direction, whereas we state only a concentration property in the axial direction. This is obtained for arbitrary (but fixed) intervals of time. This study is the completion of a previous paper arXiv:1904.04785 [math-ph], where a sharp localization of the vorticity support was obtained both along the radial and axial directions, but the convergence for worked only for short times.

Comments
23 pages, LaTex; small changes in abstract and introduction, typos corrected, added an appendix with the proof of Lemma 4.1, and, with respect to version 2, Lemma 3.2 corrected (which implies very slight changes in other parts of the manuscript). This article is an extension of the results arXiv:1904.04785 and therefore draws heavily from arXiv:1904.04785
