We give a rigorous construction of solutions to the Euler point vortices system in which three vortices burst out of a single one in a configuration of many vortices, or equivalently that there exist configurations of arbitrarily many…
A fundamental open problem in fluid dynamics is whether solutions to $2$D Euler equations with $(L^1_x\cap L^p_x)$-valued vorticity are unique, for some $p\in [1,\infty)$. A related question, more probabilistic in flavour, is whether one…
It is well-known that the dynamics of vortices in an ideal incompressible two-dimensional fluid contained in a bounded not necessarily simply connected smooth domain is described by the Kirchhoff--Routh point vortex system. In this paper,…
In this paper, we prove that in bounded planar domains with $C^{2,\alpha}$ boundary, for almost every initial condition in the sense of the Lebesgue measure, the point vortex system has a global solution, meaning that there is no collision…
We obtain a general sufficient condition on the geometry of possibly singular planar domains that guarantees global uniqueness for any weak solution to the Euler equations on them whose vorticity is bounded and initially constant near the…
The motion of point vortices constitutes an especially simple class of solutions to Euler's equation for two dimensional, inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational fluids. In addition to their intrinsic mathematical importance, these…
We give an exact quantitative solution for the motion of three vortices of any strength, which Poincar\'e showed to be integrable. The absolute motion of one vortex is generally biperiodic: in uniformly rotating axes, the motion is…
The evolution of a pair of point vortices in whole space, subject to the inviscid Euler equations for incompressible fluid flow, is solved exactly for rotationally symmetric initial conditions. This exact solution shows that the vortex…
We consider the evolution of an incompressible two-dimensional perfect fluid as the boundary of its domain is deformed in a prescribed fashion. The flow is taken to be initially steady, and the boundary deformation is assumed to be slow…
We consider solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in $3d$ with vortex filament initial data of arbitrary circulation, that is, initial vorticity given by a divergence-free vector-valued measure of arbitrary mass supported on a smooth…
The point vortex system is usually considered as an idealized model where the vorticity of an ideal incompressible two-dimensional fluid is concentrated in a finite number of moving points. In the case of a single vortex in an otherwise…
The purpose of this work is to discuss the well-posedness theory of singular vortex patches. Our main results are of two types: well-posedness and ill-posedness. On the well-posedness side, we show that globally $m-$fold symmetric vortex…
In this article, we initiate the study of the Cauchy problem for the two-dimensional relativistic Euler equations in a low-regularity setting. By introducing good variables--a rescaled velocity, logarithmic enthalpy, and an appropriately…
In a companion paper, we gave a detailed account of the well-posedness theory for singular vortex patches. Here, we discuss the long-time dynamics of some of the classes of vortex patches we showed to be globally well-posed in the companion…
We investiage the (slightly) super-critical 2-D Euler equations. The paper consists of two parts. In the first part we prove well-posedness in $C^s$ spaces for all $s>0.$ We also give growth estimates for the $C^s$ norms of the vorticity…
The restricted three-vortex problem is investigated with one of the point vortices fixed in the plane. The motion of the free vortex having zero circulation is explored from a rotating frame of reference within which the free vortex with…
A system of three point vortices in an unbounded plane has a special family of self-similarly contracting or expanding solutions: during the motion, vortex triangle remains similar to the original one, while its area decreases (grows) at a…
