In this paper, we study the point-vortex dynamics with positive intensities. We show that in the half-plane and in a disk, collapses of point vortices with the boundary in finite time are impossible, hence the solution of the dynamics is…
The motion of a finite number of point vortices on a two-dimensional periodic domain is considered. In the deterministic case it is known to be well posed only for almost every initial configuration. Coalescence of vortices may occur for…
We obtain a general sufficient condition on the geometry of possibly singular planar domains that guarantees global uniqueness for any weak solution to the Euler equations on them whose vorticity is bounded and initially constant near the…
As a model for vortex-wall interactions, we consider the two-dimensional incompressible Navier--Stokes equations in the half-plane $R^2_+$ with no-slip boundary condition and point vortices as initial data. We focus on the paradigmatic…
This paper investigates the vortex confinement property of the two-point vortex system in a planar domain. We compute the time over which initial point vortices around a stable stationary point remain within a slightly larger ball. In…
We consider the evolution of two-dimensional incompressible flows with variable density, only bounded and bounded away from zero. Assuming that the initial velocity belongs to a suitable critical subspace of L^2 , we prove a global-in-time…
We study the dynamics of 3 point-vortices on the plane for a fluid governed by Euler's equations, concentrating on the case when the moment of inertia is zero. We prove that the only motions that lead to total collisions are self-similar…
When the velocity field is not a priori known to be globally almost Lipschitz, global uniqueness of solutions to the two-dimensional Euler equations has been established only in some special cases, and the solutions to which these results…
In this paper, we prove the global existence of solutions to the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson system for general initial data in convex bounded domains of two space dimensions, assuming the specular reflection boundary conditions for the…
We set up general equations of motion for point vortex systems on closed Riemannian surfaces, allowing for the case that the sum of vorticities is not zero and there hence must be counter-vorticity present. The dynamics of global…
We start by surveying the planar point vortex motion of the Euler equations in the whole plane, half-plane and quadrant. Then we go on to prove non-collision property of 2-vortex system by using the explicit form of orbits of 2-vortex…
In this paper, we study minimizers of the Chon\'e--Rochet variational problem in dimension two. We first establish global $C^1$ regularity on arbitrary bounded convex domains, and then prove global $C^{1,1}$ regularity on bounded strictly…
This paper addresses the question of existence of (not necessarily self-similar) solutions to the 4-vortex problem that lead to total or partial collision. We begin by showing that energy considerations alone imply that, for the general…
We show that particle trajectories for positive vorticity solutions to the 2D Euler equations on fairly general bounded simply connected domains cannot reach the boundary in finite time. This includes domains with possibly nowhere $C^1$…
In this paper, we study the Ginzburg-Landau equations for a two dimensional domain which has small size. We prove that if the domain is small, then the solution has no zero, that is no vortex. More precisely, we show that the order…
We investigate a steady planar flow of an ideal fluid in a (bounded or unbounded) domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$. Let $\kappa_i\not=0$, $i=1,\ldots, m$, be $m$ arbitrary fixed constants. For any given non-degenerate critical point…
The restricted three-vortex problem is investigated with one of the point vortices fixed in the plane. The motion of the free vortex having zero circulation is explored from a rotating frame of reference within which the free vortex with…
We construct a series of vortex patch solutions in a doubly-periodic rectangular domain (flat torus), which is accomplished by studying the contour dynamic equation for patch boundaries. We will illustrate our key idea by discussing the…
We consider the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional exterior domain, with no-slip boundary conditions. We assume that the initial velocity is a finite-energy and L^q-summable perturbation of the Oseen vortex with…
In this paper we prove the existence of steady multiple vortex patch solutions to the vortex-wave system in a planar bounded domain. The construction is performed by solving a certain variational problem for the vorticity and studying its…
