Kink solutions of the binormal flow

Luis Vega (2003)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

I shall present some recent work in collaboration with S. Gutierrez on the characterization of all selfsimilar solutions of the binormal flow : X t = X s × X s s which preserve the length parametrization. Above X ( s , t ) is a curve in 3 , s the arclength parameter, and t denote the temporal variable. This flow appeared for the first time in the work of Da Rios (1906) as a crude approximation to the evolution of a vortex filament under Euler equation, and it is intimately related to the focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger...

Numerical evidence of nonuniqueness in the evolution of vortex sheets

Milton C. Lopes Filho, John Lowengrub, Helena J. Nussenzveig Lopes, Yuxi Zheng (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis


We consider a special configuration of vorticity that consists of a pair of externally tangent circular vortex sheets, each having a circularly symmetric core of bounded vorticity concentric to the sheet, and each core precisely balancing the vorticity mass of the sheet. This configuration is a stationary weak solution of the 2D incompressible Euler equations. We propose to perform numerical experiments to verify that certain approximations of this flow configuration converge to a non-stationary...

On the localization of the vortices

Carlo Marchioro (1998)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Studiamo l'evoluzione temporale di un fluido bidimensionale incomprimibile non viscoso quando la vorticità iniziale è concentrata in N regioni di diametro ϵ e mostriamo che la vorticità evoluta temporalmente è anche lei concentrata in N piccole regioni di diametro d , d const ϵ α per qualunque α < 1 / 3 . Noi chiamiamo questa proprietà "localizzazione". Come conseguenza abbiamo una connessione rigorosa tra il modello dei vortici puntiformi e l'Equazione di Eulero.

On the motion of a curve by its binormal curvature

Jerrard, Robert L., Didier Smets (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We propose a weak formulation for the binormal curvature flow of curves in 3 . This formulation is sufficiently broad to consider integral currents as initial data, and sufficiently strong for the weak-strong uniqueness property to hold, as long as self-intersections do not occur. We also prove a global existence theorem in that framework.
