Gluing Methods for Vortex Dynamics in Euler Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
A classical problem for the two-dimensional Euler flow for an incompressible fluid confined to a smooth domain. is that of finding regular solutions with highly concentrated vorticities around N moving vortices. The formal dynamic law for such objects was first derived in the 19th century by Kirkhoff and Routh. In this paper we devise a gluing approach for the construction of smooth N-vortex solutions. We capture in high precision the core of each vortex as a scaled finite mass solution of Liouville’s equation plus small, more regular terms. Gluing methods have been a powerful tool in geometric constructions by desingularization. We succeed in applying those ideas in this highly challenging setting.

Vortex design problem
In this investigation we propose a computational approach for solution of optimal control problems for vortex systems with compactly supported vorticity. The problem is formulated as PDE–constrained optimization in which the solutions are found using a gradient–based descent method. Recognizing such Euler flows as free– boundary problems, the proposed approach relies on shape differentiation co...
متن کاملThe helicity and vorticity of liquid-crystal flows
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 for a modified vorticity involving both velocity and structure fields (e.g. director and alignment tensor). This equation for the modified vorticity shares ...
متن کاملMultipole Vortex Blobs (MVB): Symplectic Geometry and Dynamics
Vortex blob methods are typically characterized by a regularization length scale, below which the dynamics are trivial for isolated blobs. In this article, we observe that the dynamics need not be trivial if one is willing to consider distributional derivatives of Dirac delta functionals as valid vorticity distributions. More specifically, a new singular vortex theory is presented for regulariz...
متن کاملConvergence of a Galerkin Method for 2-D Discontinuous Euler Flows
We prove the convergence of a discontinuous Galerkin method approximating the 2-D incompressible Euler equations with discontinuous initial vorticity: ω0 ∈ L2(Ω). Furthermore, when ω0 ∈ L∞(Ω), the whole sequence is shown to be strongly convergent. This is the first convergence result in numerical approximations of this general class of discontinuous flows. Some important flows such as vortex pa...
متن کاملSelf Containment Radius for Rotating Planar Flows, Single-signed Vortex Gas and Electron Plasma
A low temperature relation R = Ωβ/4πμ between the radius R of a compactly supported 2D vorticity (plasma density) field, the total circulation Ω (total electron charge) and the ratio μ/β (Larmor frequency), is rigorously derived from a variational Principle of Minimum Energy for 2D Euler dynamics. This relation and the predicted structure of the global minimizers or ground states are in agreeme...
