In this paper we study the vanishing inertia and viscosity limit of a second order system set in an Euclidean space, driven by a possibly nonconvex time-dependent potential satisfying very general assumptions. By means of a variational…
The incompressible three-dimensional Euler equations develop very thin pancake-like regions of increasing vorticity. These regions evolve with the scaling $\omega_{max}\sim\ell^{-2/3}$ between the vorticity maximum and the pancake…
We consider a convection process in a thin loop. At $Ra=Ra^{\prime}_{cr}$ a first transition leading to the generation of corner vortices is observed. At higher $Ra$ a coherent large-scale flow, which persists for a very long time, sets up.…
In this note, we consider the radial symmetry property of rotating vortex patches for the 2D incompressible Euler equations in the unit disc. By choosing a suitable vector field to deform the patch, we show that each simply-connected…
In this article, we investigate experimentally and numerically the time evolution of vortex rings generated by the translation of a rigid disk in a fluid initially at rest and submitted to an acceleration followed by a deceleration. The…
We prove a long-term regularity result for three-dimensional gravity water waves with small initial data but nonzero initial vorticity. We consider solutions whose vorticity vanishes on the free boundary and use this to derive a system for…
The main result is that given a generic self-similarly expanding configuration of 3 point vortices that start sufficiently far out, we can instead take compactly supported vorticity functions, and the resulting solution to 2D incompressible…
The evolution of the rotational inhomogeneities is investigated in the specific framework of four-dimensional pre-big bang models. While minimal (dilaton-driven) scenarios do not lead to rotational fluctuations, in the case of non-minimal…
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…
The development and decay of a turbulent vortex tangle driven by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation is studied. Using a recently-developed accurate and robust tracking algorithm, all quantised vortices are extracted from the fields. The Vinen's…
The formation of a vortex ring from a piston/nozzle apparatus depends on the nozzle exit's shape. Here we study the formation mechanism and the evolution of asymmetrical rings from notched nozzles using direct numerical simulations. Three…
In the vanishing viscosity limit from the Navier-Stokes to Euler equations on domains with boundaries, a main difficulty comes from the mismatch of boundary conditions and, consequently, the possible formation of a boundary layer. Within a…
This paper is concerned with steady vortex rings in an ideal fluid of uniform density, which are special global axi-symmetric solutions of the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equation. We systematically establish the existence,…
We study Ricci flows on $R^n$, $n\ge 3$, that evolve from asymptotically flat initial data. Under mild conditions on the initial data, we show that the flow exists and remains asymptotically flat for an interval of time. The mass is…
We study the Boussinesq approximation for rapidly rotating stably-stratified fluids in a three dimensional infinite layer with either stress-free or periodic boundary conditions in the vertical direction. For initial conditions satisfying a…
Let $(M^3,g_0)$ be a complete noncompact Riemannian 3-manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and with injectivity radius bounded away from zero. Suppose that the scalar curvature $R(x)\to 0$ as $x\to \infty$. Then the Ricci flow with…

Nonlinear time-dependent calculations are being carried out in order to study the evolution of vertically-integrated models of non-selfgravitating, transonic accretion discs around black holes. In this paper we present results from a new…
As widely recognized, vortex represents flow rotation. Vortex should have a local rotation axis as its direction and angular speed as its strength. Vorticity vector has been considered the rotation axis, and vorticity magnitude the…
