Time evolution of concentrated vortex rings

Mathematical Physics 2022-12-22 v2 math.MP

Abstract

We study the time evolution of an incompressible fluid with axisymmetry without swirl when the vorticity is sharply concentrated. In particular, we consider NN disjoint vortex rings of size ε\varepsilon and intensity of the order of logε1|\log\varepsilon|^{-1}. We show that in the limit ε0\varepsilon\to 0, when the density of vorticity becomes very large, the movement of each vortex ring converges to a simple translation, at least for a small but positive time.
