چکیده
In [Math. Meth. Appl. Sci. 19 (1996) 53-62], C. Marchioro examined the problem of vorticity confinement in the exterior of a smooth bounded domain. The main result in Marchioro’s paper is that solutions of the incompressible 2D Euler equations with compactly supported nonnegative initial vorticity in the exterior of a connected bounded region have vorticity support with diameter growing at most like O(t(1/2)+ε), for any ε > 0. In addition, if the domain is the exterior of a disk, then the vorticity support is contained in a disk of radius O(t1/3). The purpose of the present article is to refine Marchioro’s results. We will prove that, if the initial vorticity is even with respect to the origin, then the exponent for the exterior of the disk may be improved to 1/4. For flows in the exterior of a smooth, connected, bounded domain we prove a confinement estimate with exponent 1/2 (i.e. we remove the ε) and in certain cases, depending on the harmonic part of the flow, we establish a logarithmic improvement over the exponent 1/2. The main new ingredients in our approach are: (1) a detailed asymptotic description of solutions to the exterior Poisson problem near infinity, obtained by the use of Riemann mappings; (2) renormalized energy estimates and bounds on logarithmic moments of vorticity and (3) a new a priori estimate on time derivatives of logarithmic perturbations of the moment of inertia.

Uniqueness for Two-Dimensional Incompressible Ideal Flow on Singular Domains
We prove uniqueness of the weak solution of the Euler equations for compactly supported, single signed and bounded initial vorticity in simply connected planar domains with corners forming angles larger than π/2. In this type of domain, the velocity is not log-lipschitz and does not belong to W 1,p for all p, which is the standard regularity for the Yudovich’s arguments. Thanks to the explicit ...
متن کاملVanishing Viscosity Limit for Incompressible Flow around a Sufficiently Small Obstacle
In this article we consider viscous flow in the exterior of an obstacle satisfying the standard no-slip boundary condition at the surface of the obstacle. We look for conditions under which solutions of the NavierStokes system in the exterior domain converge to solutions of the Euler system in the full space when both viscosity and the size of the obstacle vanish. We prove that this convergence...
متن کاملTwo dimensional incompressible ideal flow around a small obstacle
In this article we study the asymptotic behavior of incompressible, ideal, timedependent two dimensional flow in the exterior of a single smooth obstacle when the size of the obstacle becomes very small. Our main purpose is to identify the equation satisfied by the limit flow. We will see that the asymptotic behavior depends on γ, the circulation around the obstacle. For smooth flow around a si...

Abstract The present paper is devoted to implementation of the immersed boundary technique into the Fourier pseudo-spectral solution of the vorticity-velocity formulation of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The immersed boundary conditions are implemented via direct modification of the convection and diffusion terms, and therefore, in contrast to some other similar ...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Flow and Heat Transfer in a Square Driven Cavity
A numerical approach called “SIMPLER” is used to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a square driven cavity. The two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were solved and the results are depicted as contour plots of stream function, vorticity, and total pressure for Reynolds numbers from 1 to 10000. At the higher values of Reynolds number, an inviscid core re...
