In this study we investigate vortex structures which lead to the maximum possible growth of palinstrophy in two-dimensional incompressible flows on a periodic domain. The issue of palinstrophy growth is related to a broader research program…
This investigation concerns a systematic search for potentially singular behavior in 3D Navier-Stokes flows. Enstrophy serves as a convenient indicator of the regularity of solutions to the Navier Stokes system --- as long as this quantity…
In this investigation we study extreme vortex states defined as incompressible velocity fields with prescribed enstrophy $\mathcal{E}_0$ which maximize the instantaneous rate of growth of enstrophy $d\mathcal{E}/dt$. We provide {an…
We present a formal, approximate model for singularity formation in classical fluid dynamics in three dimensions. The construction utilizes an approximation of local two-dimensionality to study an anti-parallel hairpin vortex structure with…
This review article offers a survey of the research program focused on a systematic computational search for extreme and potentially singular behavior in hydrodynamic models motivated by open questions concerning the possibility of a…
We consider enstrophy dissipation in two-dimensional (2D) Navier-Stokes flows and focus on how this quantity behaves in thelimit of vanishing viscosity. After recalling a number of a priori estimates providing lower and upper bounds on this…
The goal of this article is to present -- in a cohesive, and somewhat self-contained fashion -- several recent results revealing an experimentally, numerically, and mathematical analysis-supported \emph{geometric scenario} manifesting…
Whether the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations can develop a finite time singularity from smooth initial data is one of the most challenging problems in nonlinear PDEs. In this paper, we present some new numerical evidence that the…
In this investigation we perform a systematic computational search for potential singularities in 3D Navier-Stokes flows based on the Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin conditions. They assert that if the quantity $\int_0^T \| \mathbf{u}(t)…
Fluid configurations in three-dimensions, displaying a plausible decay of regularity in a finite time, are suitably built and examined. Vortex rings are the primary ingredients in this study. The full Navier-Stokes system is converted into…
Using complementary numerical approaches at high resolution, we study the late-time behaviour of an inviscid, incompressible two-dimensional flow on the surface of a sphere. Starting from a random initial vorticity field comprised of a…
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…
In this paper, we show that the spatio-temporal evolution of incompressible flows in a long circular pipe can be described by vorticity dynamics. The principal techniques to obtain solutions are similar to those used for flows in the whole…
Phenomenological arguments are used to explore finite-time singularity development in different physical fully-developed turbulence (FDT) situations. The role played by the cascade physics underlying this process is investigated. Such…
We address the question whether a singularity in a three-dimensional incompressible inviscid fluid flow can occur in finite time. Analytical considerations and numerical simulations suggest high-symmetry flows being a promising candidate…
We investigate the spatio-temporal structure of the most likely configurations realising extremely high vorticity or strain in the stochastically forced 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Most likely configurations are computed by…
A new rescaling of the vorticity moments and their growth terms is used to characterise the evolution of anti-parallel vortices governed by the 3D Euler equations. To suppress unphysical instabilities, the initial condition uses a balanced…
The temporal evolution of the fluid circulation generated by a buoyancy force when two-dimensional (2D) arrays of 2D thermals are released into a quiescent incompressible fluid is studied through the results of numerous lattice Boltzmann…
A model is developed describing the approach to a finite-time singularity of the Navier-Stokes equations for two interacting vortices. The model is derived from a combination of the Biot-Savart law and an equation describing the evolution…
We study the large-time behavior of finite-energy weak solutions for the Vlasov-Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional torus. We focus first on the homogeneous case where the ambient (incompressible and viscous) fluid carrying the…
