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.…

Vorticity plays a prominent role in the dynamics of incompressible viscous flows. In two-dimensional freely decaying turbulence, after a short transient period, evolution is essentially driven by interactions of viscous vortices, the…

Euler and Navier-Stokes have variant systems with dynamical invariance of helicity and thus (weak) topological equivalence, allowing a strong `frozen-in' (to, or, dually, `Lie-carried' by the \textit{virtual} velocity $V$) formulation of…

A two-dimensional inviscid incompressible fluid is governed by simple rules. Yet, to characterise its long-time behaviour is a knotty problem. The fluid evolves according to Euler's equations: a non-linear Hamiltonian system with infinitely…

Vortices play a fundamental role in the physics of two-dimensional (2D) fluids across a range of length scales, from quantum superfluids to geophysical flows. Despite a history dating back to Helmholtz, point vortices in a 2D fluid continue…

We show that, in a two-dimensional (2d) ideal fluid (also applies to a column of quasi-2d non-neutral plasma in an axial magnetic field), large elliptical vortices in a finite disk are stable. The stability is established by comparison…
