We study the Boussinesq approximation for the incompressible Euler equations using Lagrangian description. The conditions for the Lagrangian fluid map are derived in this setting, and a general method is presented to find exact fluid flows…
We show that the incompressible Euler equations in three spatial dimensions can be expressed in terms of an abelian gauge theory with a topological BF term. A crucial part of the theory is a 3-form field strength, which is dual to a…
This paper provides a precise sense in which the time t map for the Euler equations of an ideal fluid in a region in R^n (or a smooth compact n-manifold with boundary) is a Poisson map relative to the Lie-Poisson bracket associated with the…
The two-dimensional ideal (Euler) fluids can be described by the classical fields of streamfunction, velocity and vorticity and, in an equivalent manner, by a model of discrete point-like vortices interacting in plane by a self-generated…
In this paper, we consider the mean curvature flow of entire Lagrangian graphs with initial data in the pseudo-Euclidean space, which is related to the special Lagrangian parabolic equation. We show that the parabolic equation \eqref{11}…

We consider global-in-time evolution of irrotational, isentropic, compressible Euler flow in $3$-D, for a broad class of $H^4$ classical Cauchy data without assuming symmetry, prescribed on an annulus surrounded by a constant state in the…
Consider a fluid flowing through a junction between two pipes with different sections. Its evolution is described by the 2D or 3D Euler equations, whose analytical theory is far from complete and whose numerical treatment may be rather…
The dynamics along the particle trajectories for the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations are considered. It is shown that if the inflow is rapidly increasing (pushy) in time, the corresponding laminar profile of the incompressible Euler flow is…
Fluids can behave in a highly irregular, turbulent way. It has long been realised that, therefore, some weak notion of solution is required when studying the fundamental partial differential equations of fluid dynamics, such as the…
In this paper we derive a representation of the deterministic 3-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations based on stochastic Lagrangian paths. The particle trajectories obey SDEs driven by a uniform Wiener process; the inviscid Weber formula for…
Close insight into mathematical and conceptual structure of classical field theories shows serious inconsistencies in their common basis. In other words, we claim in this work to have come across two severe mathematical blunders in the very…
We study solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in the class $L^\infty_t C^\alpha_x$. Landau and Lifshitz [LL87] predicted that the Eulerian and Lagrangian temporal structure functions for turbulence exhibit $1/3$ and $1/2$ scaling laws,…
We investigate the complex-time analytic structure of solutions of the 3D-axisymmetric, wall-bounded, incompressible Euler equations, by starting with the initial data proposed in Luo and Hou (2014), to study a possible finite-time…
The turbulent energy flux through scales, $\bar{\epsilon}$, remains constant and non vanishing in the limit of zero viscosity, which results in the fundamental anomaly of time irreversibility. It was considered straightforward to deduce…
