We consider a family of 2D logarithmic spiral vortex sheets which include the celebrated spirals introduced by Prandtl (Vortr\"age aus dem Gebiete der Hydro- und Aero-dynamik, 1922) and by Alexander (Phys. Fluids, 1971). We prove that for…

We consider logarithmic spiral vortex sheets consisting of two branches. Based on some simple assumptions that appear true by numerical computations, we fully classify their long-time behavior and asymptotics, where in all cases each branch…
We consider Alexander spirals with $M\geq 3$ branches, that is symmetric logarithmic spiral vortex sheets. We show that such vortex sheets are linearly unstable in the $L^\infty$ (Kelvin-Helmholtz) sense, as solutions to the Birkhoff-Rott…
We consider self-similar solutions of the 2d incompressible Euler equations. We construct a class of solutions with vorticity forming algebraic spirals near the origin, in analogy to vortex sheets rolling up into algebraic spirals.
We show that, in a two-dimensional (2d) ideal fluid (also applies to a column of quasi-2d non-neutral plasma in an axial magnetic field), large elliptical vortices in a finite disk are stable. The stability is established by comparison…
We consider steady solutions to the incompressible Euler equations in a two-dimensional channel with rigid walls. The flow consists of two periodic layers of constant vorticity separated by an unknown interface. Using global bifurcation…
We show that given an initial vorticity which is bounded and $m$-fold rotationally symmetric for $m \ge 3$, there is a unique global solution to the 2D Euler equation on the whole plane. That is, in the well-known $L^1 \cap L^\infty$ theory…
This paper is devoted to the study of nonlinear stability of steady incompressible Euler flows in two dimensions. We prove that a steady Euler flow is nonlinearly stable in $L^p$ norm of the vorticity if its stream function is a semistable…

We study the long-time behavior of scale-invariant solutions of the 2d Euler equation satisfying a discrete symmetry. We show that all scale-invariant solutions with bounded variation on $\mathbb{S}^1$ relax to states that are piece-wise…
Whether the 3D incompressible Euler equations can develop a singularity in finite time from smooth initial data is one of the most challenging problems in mathematical fluid dynamics. This work attempts to provide an affirmative answer to…
In this paper we prove rigidity results for classical solutions to the stationary 2D Euler equations in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Assuming that the velocity field has finite energy and that the stagnation set is connected, we prove that the…
This paper provides the first rigorous construction of the self-similar algebraic spiral vortex sheet solutions to the 2-D incompressible Euler equations. These solutions are believed to represent the typical roll-up pattern of vortex…
(Abriged) The existence of large-scale and long-lived 2D vortices in accretion discs has been debated for more than a decade. They appear spontaneously in several 2D disc simulations and they are known to accelerate planetesimal formation…
We study the stability of multiple almost circular concentrated vortices in a fluid evolving according to the two-dimensional Euler equations. We show that, for general configurations, they must remain concentrated on time-scales much…

We consider solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible Euler system with only integrable vorticity, thus with possibly locally infinite energy. With such regularity, we use the recently developed theory of Lagrangian flows associated…
