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…

We examine the blow-up claims of the incompressible Euler equations for several specific flow-fields, (1) the columnar eddies in the vicinity of stagnation; (2) a quasi-three-dimensional structure for illustrating oscillations and…

We are interested in the stability analysis of two-dimensional incompressible inviscid fluids. Specifically, we revisit a recent result on the stability of Yudovich's solutions to the incompressible Euler equations in $L^\infty([0,T];H^1)$…

Solitons are typically stable objects in 1D models, but their straightforward extensions to 2D and 3D settings tend to be unstable. In particular, the ubiquitous nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equation with the cubic self-focusing, creates…

We study the evolution of solutions to the 2D Euler equations whose vorticity is sharply concentrated in the Wasserstein sense around a finite number of points. Under the assumption that the vorticity is merely $L^p$ integrable for some…
