We consider axisymmetric, swirl-free solutions of the Euler equations in three and higher dimensions, of generalized anti-parallel-vortex-tube-pair-type: the initial scalar vorticity has a sign in the half-space, is odd under reflection…
The vortex-wave system describes the motion of a two-dimensional ideal fluid in which the vorticity includes continuously distributed vorticity, which is called the background vorticity, and a finite number of concentrated vortices. In this…
This paper addresses the interaction of initially anti-parallel vortex tubes containing an axial flow that induces a twisting of the vortex lines around the tube axes, using numerical simulations. Vortex tube configurations with both the…
