We consider stochastic versions of Euler--Arnold equations using the infinite-dimensional geometric approach as pioneered by Ebin and Marsden. For the Euler equation on a compact manifold (possibly with smooth boundary) we establish local…
The fundamental role played by the Lie groups in mechanics, and especially by the dual space of the Lie algebra of the group and the coadjoint action are illustrated through the Camassa-Holm equation (CH). In 1996 Misio{\l}ek observed that…
We consider magnetic geodesic flows of the normal metrics on a class of homogeneous spaces, in particular (co)adjoint orbits of compact Lie groups. We give the proof of the non-commutative integrability of flows and show, in addition, for…
This paper deals with the derivation and analysis of the the Hall Magneto-Hydrodynamic equations. We first provide a derivation of this system from a two-fluids Euler-Maxwell system for electrons and ions, through a set of scaling limits.…
We study the structure of the Mather and Aubry sets for the family of lagrangians given by the kinetic energy associated to a riemannian metric $ g$ on a closed manifold $ M$. In this case the Euler-Lagrange flow is the geodesic flow of…
Equations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) play an important role in the studies of turbulence, astrophysics, and plasma physics. These equations possess remarkable geometric structures and symmetries. Indeed, they admit a geodesic…
Rotationally symmetric bodies with longitudinal cross sections of parabolic shape are frequently used to model astrophysical objects, such as magnetospheres and other blunt objects, immersed in interplanetary or interstellar gas or plasma…
We study the dynamics of magnetic flows on Heisenberg groups. Let $H$ denote the three-dimensional simply connected Heisenberg Lie group endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian metric and an exact, left-invariant magnetic field. Let…
In this paper we study equations of magnetic hydrodynamics with a stress tensor. We interpret this system as the generalized Euler equation associated with an abelian extension of the Lie algebra of vector fields with a non-trivial…
A flow of electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a steady magnetic field has a tendency to become quasi two-dimensional, i.e. uniform in the direction of the magnetic field, except in thin so-called Hartmann boundary layers. The…
In this paper we study the geodesic flow on nilmanifolds equipped with a left-invariant metric. We write the underlying definitions and find general formulas for the Poisson involution. As an example we develop the Heisenberg Lie group…
The motion of a rigid body immersed in an incompressible perfect fluid which occupies a three- dimensional bounded domain have been recently studied under its PDE formulation. In particular classical solutions have been shown to exist…
Geometric Hydrodynamics has flourished ever since the celebrated 1966 paper of V. Arnold. In this paper we present a collection of open problems along with several new constructions in fluid dynamics and a concise survey of recent…
We describe a new method to include magnetic fields into smooth particle hydrodynamics. The derivation of the self-gravitating hydrodynamics equations from a variational principle is discussed in some detail. The non-dissipative magnetic…
In contrast to the Euler-Poincar{\'e} reduction of geodesic flows of left- or right-invariant metrics on Lie groups to the corresponding Lie algebra (or its dual), one can consider the reduction of the geodesic flows to the group itself.…
Carter and Lichnerowicz have established that barotropic fluid flows are conformally geodesic and obey Hamilton's principle. This variational approach can accommodate neutral, or charged and poorly conducting, fluids. We show that, unlike…
In this article, we investigate \emph{right-invariant magnetic systems} on half-Lie groups, which consist of a strong right-invariant Riemannian metric and a right-invariant closed two-form. The main examples are groups of $H^s$ or $C^k$…
There is a remarkable and canonical problem in 3D geometry and topology: To understand existing models of 3D fluid motion or to create new ones that may be useful. We discuss from an algebraic viewpoint the PDE called Euler's equation for…
We revisit the boundary dynamics of asymptotically flat, three dimensional gravity. The boundary is governed by a momentum conservation equation and an energy conservation equation, which we interpret as fluid equations, following the…
