We introduce a novel mechanism that reveals finite time singularities within the 1D De Gregorio model and the 3D incompressible Euler equations. Remarkably, we do not construct our blow up using self-similar coordinates, but build it from…

We give an extremely short proof that the free-surface incompressible, irrotational Euler equations with regular initial condition can form a finite time singularity in 2D or 3D. Thus, we provide a simple view of the problem studied by…

Whether singularities can form in fluids remains a foundational unanswered question in mathematics. This phenomenon occurs when solutions to governing equations, such as the 3D Euler equations, develop infinite gradients from smooth initial…

We prove by an explicit construction that solutions to incompressible 3D Euler equations defined in the periodic cube can be mapped bijectively to a new system of equations whose solutions are globally regular. We establish that the usual…

Motivated by the work on stagnation-point type exact solutions (with infinite energy) of 3D Euler fluid equations by Gibbon et al. (1999) and the subsequent demonstration of finite-time blowup by Constantin (2006) we introduce a…

In connection with the recent proposal for possible singularity formation at the boundary for solutions of 3d axi-symmetric incompressible Euler's equations (Luo and Hou, 2013), we study models for the dynamics at the boundary and show that…

Classical vorticity solution branches of the three dimensional incompressible Euler equation are constructed where a velocity component can blow up at some point after finite time for regular data in H2. Furthermore, vorticity can blow up…

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…

Singularity formation of the 3D incompressible Euler equations is known to be extremely challenging. In [18], Elgindi proved that the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations with no swirl and $C^{1,\alpha}$ initial velocity develops a finite time…
