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…
In this paper, we investigate Childress's conjecture proposed in [Phys.D 237(14-17):1921-1925, 2008] on the growth rate of the vorticity maximum for axisymmetric swirl-free Euler flows in three and higher dimensions. We consider the setting…
For axisymmetric flows without swirl and compactly supported initial vorticity, we prove the upper bound of $t^{4/3}$ for the growth of the vorticity maximum, which was conjectured by Childress [Phys. D, 2008] and supported by numerical…
We consider axisymmetric incompressible inviscid flows without swirl in $\mathbb{R}^3$, under the assumption that the axial vorticity is non-positive in the upper half space and odd in the last coordinate, which corresponds to the flow…
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 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…

We consider the incompressible axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations with swirl as an idealized model for tornado-like flows. Assuming an infinite vortex line which interacts with a boundary surface resembles the tornado core, we look for…
This paper extends the mathematical theory of axisymmetrization and vorticity depletion within the two-dimensional (2D) Euler equations, with an emphasis on the dynamics of radially symmetric, monotonic vorticity profiles. By analyzing…
Spiral structure is one of the most common structures in the nature flows. A general steady spiral solution of incompressible inviscid axisymmetric flow was obtained analytically by applying separation of variables to the 3D Euler…
We construct a class of global, dynamical solutions to the 3d Euler equations near the stationary state given by uniform "rigid body" rotation. These solutions are axisymmetric, of Sobolev regularity, have non-vanishing swirl and scatter…
In this paper, we study nonlinear desingularization of steady vortex rings of three-dimensional incompressible Euler flows. We construct a family of steady vortex rings (with and without swirl) which constitutes a desingularization of the…
This paper concerns the structural stability of smooth cylindrically symmetric supersonic Euler-Poisson flows in nozzles. Both three-dimensional and axisymmetric perturbations are considered. On one hand, we establish the existence and…
Coherent vortices are often observed to persist for long times in turbulent 2D flows even at very high Reynolds numbers and are observed in experiments and computer simulations to potentially be asymptotically stable in a weak sense for the…
In this paper, we investigate steady Euler flows in a two-dimensional bounded domain. By an adaption of the vorticity method, we prove that for any nonconstant harmonic function $q$, which corresponds to a nontrivial irrotational flow,…
Steady fluid flows have very special topology. In this paper we describe necessary and sufficient conditions on the vorticity function of a 2D ideal flow on a surface with or without boundary, for which there exists a steady flow among…
This paper concerns supersonic flows with nonzero vorticity governed by the steady Euler-Poisson system, under the coupled effects of the electric potential and the geometry of a convergent nozzle. By the coordinate rotation, the existence…
We study incompressible Euler equations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $d \ge 4$ under bi-rotational symmetry without swirl, which reduces the Euler equations to a scalar vorticity advection in the first quadrant. We show that patch type initial…
We address the structural stability of 3-D axisymmetric subsonic flows with nonzero swirl for the steady compressible Euler-Poisson system in a cylinder supplemented with non small boundary data. A special Helmholtz decomposition of the…
