We consider the dynamics of a two-dimensional incompressible perfect fluid on a M\"obius strip embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The vorticity-streamfunction formulation of the Euler equations is derived from an exterior-calculus form of the…
The purpose of this work is to discuss the well-posedness theory of singular vortex patches. Our main results are of two types: well-posedness and ill-posedness. On the well-posedness side, we show that globally $m-$fold symmetric vortex…

The Gross-Pitaevskii equation is widely used for vortex dynamics, but finite domains with hard walls or confining potentials distort bulk behavior through vortex-image effects or induced flows. Periodic boundaries reduce wall artifacts yet…

The vortex method is a common numerical and theoretical approach used to implement the motion of an ideal flow, in which the vorticity is approximated by a sum of point vortices, so that the Euler equations read as a system of ordinary…
In this paper we will prove that the vorticity belongs to L1(0; T ; L2(R3)) for the Cauchy problem of 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, then the existence of a global smooth solution is obtained. Our approach is to construct a set…
