We consider a family of 2D logarithmic spiral vortex sheets which include the celebrated spirals introduced by Prandtl (Vortr\"age aus dem Gebiete der Hydro- und Aero-dynamik, 1922) and by Alexander (Phys. Fluids, 1971). We prove that for…

We present a novel example of a divergence-free velocity field $b \in L^\infty ((0,1); L^p (\mathbb{T}^2))$ for $p<2$ arbitrary but fixed which leads to non-unique solutions of advection-diffusion in the class $L^\infty_{t,x} \cap L^2_t…

We consider the two dimensional unsteady Prandtl system. For a special class of outer Euler flows and solutions of the Prandtl system, the trace of the tangential derivative of the tangential velocity along the transversal axis solves a…
Spiral galaxies can be affected by interactions in clusters, that also may distort the internal velocity field. If unrecognized from single-slit spectroscopy, this could lead to a wrong determination of the maximum rotation velocity as…
We consider the inverse boundary value problem for the steady state convection diffusion equation. We prove that a velocity field $V$, is uniquely determined by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, when $V \in C^{0,\gamma} (\Omega)$, $2/3< \gamma…
The vortex-wave system is a model for the evolution of 2D incompressible fluids in which the vorticity is split into a finite sum of Dirac masses plus an Lp part. Existence of a weak solution for this system was recently proved by Lopes…
For any $2<p<\infty$ we prove that there exists an initial velocity field $v^\circ\in L^2$ with vorticity $\omega^\circ\in L^1\cap L^p$ for which there are infinitely many bounded admissible solutions $v\in C_tL^2$ to the 2D Euler equation.…
For a large class of non smooth bounded domains, existence of a global weak solution of the 2D Euler equations, with bounded vorticity, was established by G\'erard-Varet and Lacave. In the case of sharp domains, the question of uniqueness…
We prove persistence of the regularity of the boundary of vortex patches for a large class of transport equations in the plane. The velocity field is given by convolution of the vorticity with an odd kernel, homogeneous of degree $-1$ and…
The Tully-Fisher (Tully and Fisher 1977; TF) relation is applied to obtain peculiar velocities of field spirals galaxies and to calculate dipoles of the peculiar velocity field to cz ~ 8000 km/s. The field galaxy sample is spatially…
The velocity field within a steady toroidal vortex is found for arbitrary mean core radius and section ellipticity. The problem is solved by transforming to coordinates that define invariant sets. The method allows the properties of the…
We prove that in space-times a velocity field that is shear, vorticity and acceleration-free, if any, is unique up to reflection, with these exceptions: generalized Robertson-Walker space-times whose space sub-manifold is warped, and…
We are concerned with the theory of existence and uniqueness of flows generated by divergence free vector fields with compact support. Hence, assuming that the velocity vector fields are measurable, bounded, and the flows in the Euclidean…
