The binormal (or vortex filament) equation provides the localized induction approximation of the 3D incompressible Euler equation. We present explicit solutions of the binormal equation in higher-dimensions that collapse in finite time. The…
Recently the second and third author developed an iterative scheme for obtaining rough solutions of the 3D incompressible Euler equations in H\"older spaces (arXiv:1202.1751 and arXiv:1205.3626 (2012)). The motivation comes from Onsager's…
The nonequilibrium dynamics of vortices in 2D quantum fluids can be predicted by accounting for the way in which vortex ellipticity is coupled to the gradient in background fluid density. In the absence of nonlinear interactions, a…
In this work we systematically derive the governing equations of supersonic conical flow by projecting the 3D Euler equations onto the unit sphere. These equations result from taking the assumption of conical invariance on the 3D flow…

Fractional Navier-Stokes equations -- featuring a fractional Laplacian -- provide a `bridge' between the Euler equations (zero diffusion) and the Navier-Stokes equations (full diffusion). The problem of whether an initially smooth flow can…

We povide a test for numerical simulations for the collapse of regular tubes carried by a 3D incompressible flow. In particular, we obtain necessary conditions for 3D Euler to have a vortex tube collapse in finite time.
We develop a coarse-grained description of the point-vortex model, finding that a large number of planar vortices and antivortices behave as an inviscid non-Eulerian fluid at large scales. The emergent binary vortex fluid is subject to…
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…
We establish the existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions with large vorticity and weak solutions with vortex sheets/entropy waves for the steady Euler equations for both compressible and incompressible fluids in arbitrary infinitely…
This paper concerns the structural stability of smooth cylindrical symmetric transonic flows in a concentric cylinder under helically symmetric perturbation of suitable boundary conditions. The deformation-curl decomposition developed by…
In this paper, we study two-dimensional steady incompressible Euler flows in which the vorticity is sharply concentrated in a finite number of regions of small diameter in a bounded domain. Mathematical analysis of such flows is an…
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 consider the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equation \[\begin{cases} \partial_t \omega + u\cdot \nabla \omega=0 \\ \omega(0,x)=\omega_0(x). \end{cases}\] We are interested in the cases when the initial vorticity has the form…
