Singularities of the Navier-Stokes equations occur when some derivative of the velocity field is infinite at any point of a field of flow (or, in an evolving flow, becomes infinite at any point within a finite time). Such singularities can…
In this paper we investigate analytically the formation of finite time singularities in the three dimensional incompressible Euler equations under the model of Gibbon, Fokas, and Doering for vorticity stretching within a bounded cylindrical…
The problem we are concerned with is whether singularities form in finite time in incompressible fluid flows. It is well known that the answer is ``no'' in the case of Euler and Navier-Stokes equations in dimension two. In dimension three…
We demonstrate finite-time blow-up in a simple, realistic shell model of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations, equipped with "smooth" (i.e., rapidly decaying in frequency) initial data and forcing. Previously studied models either exhibit a…
The formation of singularities in the three-dimensional Euler equation is investigated. This is done by restricting the number of Fourier modes to a set which allows only for local interactions in wave number space. Starting from an initial…

We consider the compressible three dimensional Navier Stokes and Euler equations. In a suitable regime of barotropic laws, we construct a set of finite energy smooth initial data for which the corresponding solutions to both equations…

A theory of an eroding "hairpin" vortex dipole structure in three dimensions is developed, extending our previous study of an axisymmetric eroding dipole without swirl. The hairpin is here similarly proposed as a model to produce large…
This work is a companion to [EJE1] and its purpose is threefold: first, we will establish local well-posedness for the axi-symmetric $3D$ Euler equation in the domains $\{(x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : x_3^2 \le \mathfrak{c}(x_1^2 +…
We study the singularity formation of a quasi-exact 1D model proposed by Hou-Li in \cite{hou2008dynamic}. This model is based on an approximation of the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations in the $r$ direction. The solution of the 1D model…
In this paper we rule out the possibility of asymptotically self-similar singularities for both of the 3D Euler and the 3D Navier-Stokes equations. The notion means that the local in time classical solutions of the equations develop…

We develop mathematical methods which allow us to study asymptotic properties of solutions to the three dimensional Navier-Stokes system for incompressible fluid in the whole three dimensional space. We deal either with the Cauchy problem…
A new rescaling of the vorticity moments and their growth terms is used to characterise the evolution of anti-parallel vortices governed by the 3D Euler equations. To suppress unphysical instabilities, the initial condition uses a balanced…
