We study a general class of Euler equations driven by a forcing with a \emph{commutator structure} of the form $[\mathcal{L},\mathbf{u}](\rho)=\mathcal{L}(\rho \mathbf{u})- \mathcal{L}(\rho)\mathbf{u}$, where $\mathbf{u}$ is the velocity…

Any classical solution of the 2D incompressible Euler equation is global in time. However, it remains an outstanding open problem whether classical solutions of the surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation preserve their regularity for all…
The global regularity problem for the periodic Navier-Stokes system asks whether to every smooth divergence-free initial datum $u_0: (\R/\Z)^3 \to \R^3$ there exists a global smooth solution u. In this note we observe (using a simple…
