We revise the steady vortex surface theory following the recent finding of asymmetric vortex sheets (AM,2021). These surfaces avoid the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability by adjusting their discontinuity and shape. The vorticity collapses to the…
We investigate dynamics of overlapping vortices in the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation, the nonlinear heat equation and in the equation with an intermediate Schr\"{o}dinger-diffusion dynamics. Because of formal similarity on a…
In this work, we construct traveling wave solutions to the two-phase Euler equations, featuring a vortex sheet at the interface between the two phases. The inner phase exhibits a uniform vorticity distribution and may represent a vacuum,…
We construct families of smooth travelling-wave solutions to the inviscid surface quasi-geostrophic equation (SQG). These solutions can be viewed as the equivalents for this equation of the vortex anti-vortex pairs in the context of the…

We consider the generalized Surface Quasi-Geostrophic point vortices dynamics, and identify a sufficient condition implying existence of bursts out of (and collapses into) any given initial configuration of vortices. The condition is…
We consider the steady Euler flows past an obstacle in an infinity long strip with horizontal constant velocity at infinity, prescribed circulation around the obstacle and sharply concentrated patch-type vorticity. The construction of these…
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…
It is well known that the boundary dynamics of vortex patches is globally well-posed in the H\"older space $C^{1,\alpha}$ for $0<\alpha<1$, whereas the well-posedness in $C^1$ remains an open problem, even locally. In this paper, we…
We consider a nonlinear, spatially-nonlocal initial value problem in one space dimension on $\mathbb{R}$ that describes the motion of surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) fronts. We prove that the initial value problem has a unique local smooth…
