The Vortex Filament Equation for a Regular Polygon
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract I shall present some recent results obtained in collaboration with V. Banica and F. de la Hoz about the evolution of vortex filaments according to the so-called binormal law. After reviewing the results for filaments with one corner, we will look at the case of general polygons. The dynamics turn out to be quite complex. Among other things numerical evidence on the appearance of multifractals will be given. This multifractal structure turns out to be connected to the one proved by S. Jaffard on Riemann’s non-differentiable function.

Numerical tests on vortex polygons
Point vortex, first introduced by Helmholtz in 1958, is a classic model in two-dimensional incompressible fluid dynamics. The solutions to the equations of various configurations of point vortices have provided many insightful findings in various physical fields involved with vortex dynamics, such as atomic structure, large scale weather patterns and superconductors, etc (Aref 1988). One kind o...
متن کاملMultiple breathers on a vortex filament
In this paper we investigate the correspondence between the Da Rios-Betchov equation, which appears in the three-dimensional motion of a vortex filament, and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Using this correspondence we map a set of solutions corresponding to breathers in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation to waves propagating along a vortex filament. The work presented generalizes the recen...
متن کاملA New Doubly Discrete Analogue of Smoke Ring Flow and the Real Time Simulation of Fluid Flow
Modelling incompressible ideal fluids as a finite collection of vortex filaments is important in physics (super-fluidity, models for the onset of turbulence) as well as for numerical algorithms used in computer graphics for the real time simulation of smoke. Here we introduce a time-discrete evolution equation for arbitrary closed polygons in 3space that is a discretisation of the localised ind...
متن کاملThe differential formula of Hasimoto transformation in Minkowski 3-space
Hasimoto [10] introduced the map from vortex filament solutions of Euler’s equations for incompressible fluids in the local induction approximation to solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and he showed vortex filament equation is equivalent nonlinear Schrödinger equation. After this discovering of Hasimoto, several authors [1, 5, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24] studied the...
متن کاملThe vortex filament equation in any dimension
We present the vortex filament (or localized induction approximation) equation in any dimension. For an arbitrary n ≥ 3 the evolution of vorticity supported on vortex membranes of codimension 2 in R is described by the skew (or binormal) mean-curvature flow, which generalises to any dimension the classical binormal equation in R. This paper is a brief summary of the results in Khesin (2012) and...
