The three-dimensional Euler equations: Where do we stand?
نویسنده
چکیده
The three-dimensional Euler equations have stood for a quarter of a millenium as a challenge to mathematicians and physicists. While much has been discovered, the nature of solutions is still largely a mystery. This paper surveys some of the issues, such as singularity formation, that have cost so much effort in the last 25 years. In this light we review the Beale–Kato–Majda theorem and its consequences and then list some of the results of numerical experiments that have been attempted. A different line of endeavour focuses on work concerning the pressure Hessian and how it may be used and modelled. The Euler equations are finally discussed in terms of their membership of a class of general Lagrangian evolution equations. Using Hamilton’s quaternions, these are reformulated in an elegant manner to describe the motion and rotation of fluid particles. c © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 47.10.A-; 47.15.ki

Euler-Lagrange equations and geometric mechanics on Lie groups with potential
Abstract. Let G be a Banach Lie group modeled on the Banach space, possibly infinite dimensional, E. In this paper first we introduce Euler-Lagrange equations on the Lie group G with potential and right invariant metric. Euler-Lagrange equations are natural extensions of the geodesic equations on manifolds and Lie groups. In the second part, we study the geometry of the mechanical system of a r...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Vibration Suppression of an Euler-bernolli Beam via Boundary Control Method
In this paper, the general governing equations of three-dimensional vibrations of an Euler-Bernoulli Beam under influences of system dynamics are derived by the Hamiltonian method. Then two fundamental cases of a cantilever beam and a rotating beam are considered. The conventional methods for vibration suppression debit to expenses and make new problems such as control spillover because they ar...
متن کاملLOSS OF SMOOTHNESS AND ENERGY CONSERVING ROUGH WEAK SOLUTIONS FOR THE 3d EULER EQUATIONS
A basic example of shear flow was introduced by DiPerna and Majda to study the weak limit of oscillatory solutions of the Euler equations of incompressible ideal fluids. In particular, they proved by means of this example that weak limit of solutions of Euler equations may, in some cases, fail to be a solution of Euler equations. We use this example to provide non-generic, yet nontrivial, examp...
متن کاملBursting Dynamics of the 3D Euler Equations in Cylindrical Domains
A class of three-dimensional initial data characterized by uniformly large vorticity is considered for the 3D incompressible Euler equations in bounded cylindrical domains. The fast singular oscillating limits of the 3D Euler equations are investigated for parametrically resonant cylinders. Resonances of fast oscillating swirling Beltrami waves deplete the Euler nonlinearity. These waves are ex...
