Existence of a conjugate point in the incompressible Euler flow on a sphere and an ellipsoid is considered. Misiolek (1996) formulated a differential-geometric criterion (we call M-criterion) for the existence of a conjugate point in a…
This paper answers some questions about conjugate points along the geodesics corresponding to steady 2D Euler flows, posed by a paper of Drivas-Misiolek-Shi-Yoneda. We present a new sufficient criterion for the existence of conjugate…
Let $M$ be a compact 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary and consider the incompressible Euler equation on $M$. In the case that $M$ is the straight periodic channel, the annulus or the disc with the Euclidean metric, it…
Two fluid configurations along a flow are conjugate if there is a one parameter family of geodesics (fluid flows) joining them to infinitesimal order. Geometrically, they can be seen as a consequence of the (infinite dimensional) group of…
In this article, we investigate the geometry of a central extension $\widehat{\mathcal D}_{\mu}(S^{2})$ of the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the 2-sphere equipped with the $L^{2}$-metric, whose geodesics correspond solutions…
The geodesics in the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms (volumorphisms) of a manifold $M$, for a Riemannian metric defined by the kinetic energy, can be used to model the movement of ideal fluids in that manifold. The existence of…
The sectional curvature of the volume preserving diffeomorphism group of a Riemannian manifold $M$ can give information about the stability of inviscid, incompressible fluid flows on $M$. We demonstrate that the submanifold of the…
This paper is devoted to the geometric analysis of the incompressible averaged Euler equations on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. The equation also coincides with the model for a second-grade non-Newtonian fluid. We study the…
We construct finite dimensional families of non-steady solutions to the Euler equations, existing for all time, and exhibiting all kinds of qualitative dynamics in the phase space, for example: strange attractors and chaos, invariant…
In 1966, Arnold [1] showed that the Lagrangian flow of ideal incompressible fluids (described by Euler equations) coincide with the geodesic flow on the manifold of volume preserving diffeomorphisms of the fluid domain. Arnold's proof and…
We show that there exist closed three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds where the incompressible Euler equations exhibit smooth steady solutions that are isolated in the $C^1$-topology. The proof of this fact combines ideas from dynamical…
We construct new stationary weak solutions of the 3D Euler equation with compact support. The solutions, which are piecewise smooth and discontinuous across a surface, are axisymmetric with swirl. The range of solutions we find is different…
We prove a sharp orbital stability result for a class of exact steady solutions, expressed in terms of Bessel functions of the first kind, of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equation in a disk. A special case of these solutions is…
We present a local existence result for the three dimensional incompressible Euler equations. The solution is constructed using a formulation of the equations as an active vector system in Eulerian coordinates. The formulation employs the…
Using open books, we prove the existence of a non-vanishing steady solution to the Euler equations for some metric in every homotopy class of non-vanishing vector fields of any odd dimensional manifold. As a corollary, any such field can be…
A recent prominent result asserts that steady incompressible Euler flows strictly away from stagnation in a two-dimensional infinitely long strip must be shear flows. On the other hand, flows with stagnation points, very challenging in…
