We consider a variant of the kinematic dynamo problem. Rather than prescribing a velocity field and searching for high-growth magnetic fields via an eigenvalue problem, we treat the seed magnetic-field structure as given and ask which…
We consider the 2D incompressible Euler equation on a corner domain $\Omega$ with angle $\nu\pi$ with $\frac{1}{2}<\nu<1$. We prove that if the initial vorticity $\omega_0 \in L^{1}(\Omega)\cap L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ and if $\omega_0$ is…
When the velocity field is not a priori known to be globally almost Lipschitz, global uniqueness of solutions to the two-dimensional Euler equations has been established only in some special cases, and the solutions to which these results…
In this paper we study the singularity formation for the geometric flow of complex curves $$z_t = -z_{xxx} + \frac{3}{2}\o z_{x} z_{xx}^2,$$ that was derived [R. E. Goldstein and D. M. Petrich, {\em Phys. Rev. Lett.}, 69 (1992), pp.…
Besides the defining space-time symmetries (homogeneity and isotropy) of inertial frames, the derivation of Lorentz transformation requires postulating the principle of relativity and the existence of a finite speed limit. In this article,…
We show the uniqueness of particle paths of a velocity field, which solves the compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations in the half-space $\mathbb{R}_+^3$ with the Navier boundary condition. In particular, by means of energy…
Assuming that initial velocity has finite energy and initial vorticity is bounded in the plane, we show that for any finite time interval the unique solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations converge uniformly to the unique solution of the…
Singularities of the Navier-Stokes equations occur when some derivative of the velocity field is infinite at any point of a field of flow (or, in an evolving flow, becomes infinite at any point within a finite time). Such singularities can…
We test the hypothesis that the velocity field derived from Tully-Fisher measurements of spiral galaxies, and that derived independently from Dn-sigma measurements of ellipticals and S0s, are noisy versions of the same underlying velocity…
We prove the uniqueness and finite-time existence of bounded-vorticity solutions to the 2D Euler equations having velocity growing slower than the square root of the distance from the origin, obtaining global existence for more slowly…
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…
In this paper, we consider the uniqueness of solutions to the 3d Navier-Stokes equations with initial vorticity given by $\omega_0 = \alpha e_z \delta_{x = y = 0}$, where $\delta_{x=y= 0}$ is the one dimensional Hausdorff measure of an…

The present paper suggests a method for obtaining incompressible solenoidal velocity vectors that satisfy approximately the desired immersed velocity boundary conditions. The method employs merely the mutual kinematic relations between the…
For the two dimensional Euler equations, a classical result by Yudovich states that solutions are unique in the class of bounded vorticity; it is a celebrated open problem whether this uniqueness result can be extended in other…
In this paper, we study the motion of spirals by mean curvature type motion in the (two dimensional) plane. Our motivation comes from dislocation dynamics; in this context, spirals appear when a screw dislocation line reaches the surface of…
