For steady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes flows with a single eddy (i.e. nested closed streamlines) in a simply connected domain, Prandtl (1905) and Batchelor (1956) found that in the inviscid limit, the vorticity is constant inside the…

Recent studies of pseudo-plane ideal flow (PIF) reveal a ubiquitous presence of vortex alignment in both homogeneous and stratified fluids, and in both inertial and rotating reference frames as well. The exact solutions of a steady-state…

A simplified form of the vorticity equation is derived for arbitrary coordinate systems. The present work unifies and extends the previous findings that vorticity is conserved in planar Euler flow, while in axisymmetric Euler rings it is…

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…
