We introduce a statistical ensemble for a single vortex filament of a three dimensional incompressible fluid. The core of the vortex is modelled by a quite generic stochastic process. We prove the existence of the partition function for…
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 study the time evolution of an incompressible fluid with axial symmetry without swirl when the vorticity is sharply concentrated on $N$ annuli of radii $\approx$ $r_0$ and thickness $\epsilon$. We prove that when $r_0= |\log…
When a viscous fluid partially fills a Hele--Shaw channel, and is pushed by a pressure difference, the fluid interface is unstable due to the Saffman--Taylor instability. We consider the evolution of a fluid region of finite extent, bounded…
We study the vortex dynamics in an evolutive flow. We carry out the statistical analysis of the resulting time series by means of the joint use of a compression and an entropy diffusion method. This approach to complexity makes it possible…
The essence of turbulent flow is the conveyance of energy through the formation, interaction, and destruction of eddies over a wide range of spatial scales--from the largest scales where energy is injected, down to the smallest scales where…
The vortex dynamics of Euler's equations for a constant density fluid flow in $R^4$ is studied. Most of the paper focuses on singular Dirac delta distributions of the vorticity two-form $\omega$ in $R^4$. These distributions are supported…
We investigate the formation of singularities in a self-similar form of regular solutions of the Localized Induction Approximation (also referred as to the binormal flow). This equation appears as an approximation model for the self-induced…
This article concerns the equations of motion of perfect incompressible fluids in a 3-D, smooth, bounded, simply connected domain. We suppose that the curl of the initial velocity field is a vortex patch, and examine the classical problems…
The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in R^3 are shown to admit a unique axisymmetric solution without swirl if the initial vorticity is a circular vortex filament with arbitrarily large circulation Reynolds number. The emphasis is on…
Does three-dimensional incompressible Euler flow with smooth initial conditions develop a singularity with infinite vorticity after a finite time? This blowup problem is still open. After briefly reviewing what is known and pointing out…
We prove that for solutions of the Euler equation on the sphere, the vorticity gradient can grow at most double-exponentially in time, and we show that this upper bound is sharp by constructing explicit solutions with odd symmetry that…
We make a connection between a famous analytical object introduced in the 1860s by Riemann, as well as some variants of it, and a nonlinear geometric PDE, the binormal curvature flow. As a consequence this analytical object has a…
The dynamics along the particle trajectories for the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations in an infinite cylinder are considered. It is shown that if the inflow-outflow is highly oscillating in time, the corresponding Euler flow cannot keep the…
We consider the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations for helical flows without swirl. By adapting gluing techniques, we construct the first smooth multi-vortex solution in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^3$ exhibiting a cluster of…
In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of two layers of immiscible, inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational fluids through a full nonlinear system. Our goal is to establish a virial theorem and prove the polynomial growth of slope and…
In this paper, we consider the concentration property of solutions to the dispersive Ginzburg-Landau (or Gross-Pitaevskii) equation in three dimensions. On a spatial domain, it has long been conjectured that such a solution concentrates…

A classical problem for the two-dimensional Euler flow for an incompressible fluid confined to a smooth domain. is that of finding regular solutions with highly concentrated vorticities around $N$ moving {\em vortices}. The formal dynamic…
This paper is devoted to the study of nonlinear stability of steady incompressible Euler flows in two dimensions. We prove that a steady Euler flow is nonlinearly stable in $L^p$ norm of the vorticity if its stream function is a semistable…
