This article focuses on gradient vector fields of unit Euclidean norm in $\mathbb{R}^N$ . The stream functions associated to such vector fields solve the eikonal equation and the prototype is given by the distance function to a closed set.…
This paper analyzes the space of steady rotating solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations nearby vortex patch solutions satisfying a natural nondegeneracy condition. We address the question of desingularization and…
A stochastic Euler equation is proposed, describing the motion of a particle density, forced by the random action of virtual photons in vacuum. After time averaging, the Euler equation is reduced to the Reynolds equation, well studied in…
Strong Beltrami fields have long played a key role in fluid mechanics and magnetohydrodynamics. In particular, they are the kind of stationary solutions of the Euler equations where one has been able to show the existence of vortex…
We study stability of unidirectional flows for the linearized 2D $\alpha$-Euler equations on the torus. The unidirectional flows are steady states whose vorticity is given by Fourier modes corresponding to a vector $\mathbf p \in \mathbb…
In this paper we study the mean-field limit of a system of point vortices for the lake equations. These equations model the evolution of the horizontal component of the velocity field of a fluid in a lake of non-constant depth, when its…
This paper concerns the structural stability of smooth cylindrically symmetric transonic flows in a concentric cylinder. Both cylindrical and axi-symmetric perturbations are considered. The governing system here is of mixed…
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 two-dimensional steady compactly supported incompressible Euler equations with free boundaries. We consider flows with constant vorticity that are perturbations of annular equilibria, in contrast to the laminar…
The ultimate goal of a sound theory of turbulence in fluids is to close in a rational way the Reynolds equations, namely to express the tensor of turbulent stress as a function of the time average of the velocity field. Based on the idea…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact manifold without boundary whose first homology is nontrivial. Hodge decomposition of the incompressible Euler's equation in terms of 1-forms yields a coupled PDE-ODE system. The $L^2$-orthogonal components are a…
We develop an invariant local theory of Lorentz surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 4-space by use of a linear map of Weingarten type. We find a geometrically determined moving frame field at each point of the surface and obtain a system of…
We derive the vorticity equation for an incompressible fluid on a 2-dimensional surface with arbitrary topology embedded in 3-dimensional Euclidean space by using a tailored Clebsch parametrization of the flow. In the inviscid limit, we…
Point vortex models are presented for the generalized Euler equations, which are characterized by a fractional Laplacian relation between the active scalar and the streamfunction. Special focus is given to the case of the surface…
Experimentalists now measure intense rotations of Lagrangian particles in turbulent flows by tracking their trajectories and Lagrangian-average velocity gradients at high Reynolds numbers. This paper formulates the dynamics of an…
In "Global regularity for vortex patches" (Commun. Math. Phys. 1993), Bertozzi and Constantin formulate the vortex patch problem in the level-set framework and prove a priori estimates for this active scalar equation. By extending the tools…
The relationship between point vortex dynamics and the properties of polynomials with roots at the vortex positions is discussed. Classical polynomials, such as the Hermite polynomials, have roots that describe the equilibria of identical…
We present explicit expressions of the helicity conservation in nematic liquid crystal flows, for both the Ericksen-Leslie and Landau-de Gennes theories. This is done by using a minimal coupling argument that leads to an Euler-like equation…
We rigorously construct continuous curves of rotating vortex patch solutions to the two-dimensional Euler equations. The curves are large in that, as the parameter tends to infinity, the minimum along the interface of the angular fluid…
We develop a kinetic theory for point vortices in two-dimensional hydrodynamics. Using standard projection operator technics, we derive a Fokker-Planck equation describing the relaxation of a ``test'' vortex in a bath of ``field'' vortices…
