It is well known that vortex patches are wellposed in $C^{1,\alpha}$ if $0<\alpha <1$. In this paper, we prove the illposedness of $C^{2}$ vortex patches. The setup is to consider the vortex patches in Sobolev spaces $W^{2,p}$ where the…
The purpose of this work is to discuss the well-posedness theory of singular vortex patches. Our main results are of two types: well-posedness and ill-posedness. On the well-posedness side, we show that globally $m-$fold symmetric vortex…
We construct a series of vortex patch solutions in a doubly-periodic rectangular domain (flat torus), which is accomplished by studying the contour dynamic equation for patch boundaries. We will illustrate our key idea by discussing the…
In this paper we show the existence of time-periodic vortex patches for the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equation within a bounded domain. This construction is carried out for values of $\gamma$ in the range of $(1,2)$. The…
The motion of incompressible and ideal fluids is studied in the plane. The stability in $L^1$ of circular vortex patches is established among the class of all bounded vortex patches of equal strength without any restriction on the size of…
We study vortex patches for the 2D incompressible Euler equations. Prior works on this problem take the support of the vorticity (i.e., the vortex patch) to be a bounded region. We instead consider the horizontally periodic setting. This…
We consider the gravity-capillary water waves problem in a domain $\Omega_t \subset \mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{R}$ with substantial geometric features. Namely, we consider a variable bottom, smooth obstacles in the flow and a constant…
We show that the boundary of a rotating vortex patch (or V-state, in the terminology of Deem and Zabusky) is of class C^infinity provided the patch is close enough to the bifurcation circle in the Lipschitz norm. The rotating patch is…
We study patch solutions of a family of transport equations given by a parameter $\alpha$, $0< \alpha <2$, with the cases $\alpha =0$ and $\alpha =1$ corresponding to the Euler and the surface quasi-geostrophic equations respectively. In…
Inspired by the recently published paper \cite{Hassainia-Hmidi}, the current paper investigates the local well-posedness for the generalized $2d-$Boussinesq system in the setting of regular/singular vortex patch. Under the condition that…
This paper studies the Cauchy problem for a helical vortex filament evolving by the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We prove global-in-time well-posedness and smoothing of solutions with initial vorticity concentrated on a helix.…
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…
We consider solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in $3d$ with vortex filament initial data of arbitrary circulation, that is, initial vorticity given by a divergence-free vector-valued measure of arbitrary mass supported on a smooth…
This article concerns the equations of motion of perfect incompressible fluids in a 3-D, smooth, bounded, simply connected domain. We suppose that the curl of the initial velocity field is a vortex patch, and examine the classical problems…
The deformation of two-dimensional vortex patches in the vicinity of fluid boundaries is investigated. The presence of a boundary causes an initially circular patch of uniform vorticity to deform. Sufficiently far away from the boundary,…
We consider concentrated vorticities for the Euler equation on a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbf{R}^2$ in the form of \[ \omega = \sum_{j=1}^N \omega_j \chi_{\Omega_j}, \quad |\Omega_j| = \pi r_j^2, \quad \int_{\Omega_j} \omega_j d\mu…
The vortex-wave system describes the motion of a two-dimensional ideal fluid in which the vorticity includes continuously distributed vorticity, which is called the background vorticity, and a finite number of concentrated vortices. In this…
In a companion paper, we gave a detailed account of the well-posedness theory for singular vortex patches. Here, we discuss the long-time dynamics of some of the classes of vortex patches we showed to be globally well-posed in the companion…
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 investiage the (slightly) super-critical 2-D Euler equations. The paper consists of two parts. In the first part we prove well-posedness in $C^s$ spaces for all $s>0.$ We also give growth estimates for the $C^s$ norms of the vorticity…
