The main goal of this paper is to explore the leapfrogging phenomenon in the inviscid planar flows. We show for 2d Euler equations that under suitable constraints, four concentrated vortex patches leapfrog for all time. When observed from a…
We prove an existence result for solutions to the stationary Euler equations in a domain with nonsmooth boundary. This is an extension of a previous existence result in smooth domains by Alber (1992). The domains we consider have a boundary…
Local structures, beyond the well-known `frozen-in' to the barotropic flows of the generalized vorticities, of the two-fluid model of plasma flows are presented. More general non-barotropic situations are also considered. A modified Euler…

Phase-space Lagrangian dynamics in ideal fluids (i.e, continua) is usually related to the so-called {\it ideal tracer particles}. The latter, which can in principle be permitted to have arbitrary initial velocities, are understood as…

We prove the existence of time-periodic leapfrogging vortex rings for the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations, thereby providing a rigorous realization of a phenomenon first conjectured by Helmholtz (1858). In the leapfrogging…
This paper investigates an incompressible steady free boundary problem of Euler equations with helical symmetry in $3$ dimensions and with nontrivial vorticity. The velocity field of the fluid arises from the spiral of its velocity within a…
The fate of small particles in turbulent flows depends strongly on the surrounding fluid's velocity gradient properties such as rotation and strain-rates. For non-inertial (fluid) particles, the Restricted Euler model provides a simple,…
