Abstract

We consider the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations without swirl on some bounded axial symmetric domains. In this setting, well-posedness is well known due to the essentially 2D geometry. The quantity ωθ/r\omega^\theta/r plays the role of vorticity in 2D. First, we prove that the gradient of ωθ/r\omega^\theta/r can grow at most double exponentially with improving a priori bound close to the axis of symmetry. Next, on the unit ball, we show that at the boundary, one can achieve double exponential growth of the gradient of ωθ/r\omega^\theta/r.
