Nested axi-symmetric vortex rings
Nonexistence of simple hyperbolic blow-up for the quasi-geostrophic equation.
Nonlinear instability in an ideal fluid
Numerical evidence of nonuniqueness in the evolution of vortex sheets
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...
