We exclude Type I blow-up, which occurs in the form of atomic concentrations of the $$L^2$$ norm for the solution of the 3D incompressible Euler equations. As a corollary we prove nonexistence of discretely self-similar blow-up in the energy conserving scale.

By using an idea of localized Galilean boost, we show that the data-to-solution map for incompressible Euler equations is not uniformly continuous in $${H^s({\mathbb{R}}^d)}$$, $${s \ge 0}$$. This settles the end-point case (s = 0) left open in Himonas–Misiolek (Commun Math Phys 296(1):285–301, 2010) and gives a unified treatment for all Hs. We also show the solution map is nowhere uniformly continuous.

We consider various questions about the 2d incompressible Navier-Stokes and Euler equations on a torus when dissipation is removed from or added to some of the Fourier modes., 14 pages

In this paper we study the Liouville-type properties for solutions to the steady incompressible Euler equations with forces in $\Bbb R^N$. If we assume "single signedness condition" on the force, then we can show that a $C^1 (\Bbb R^N)$ solution $(v,p)$ with $|v|^2+ |p|\in L^{\frac{q}{2}}(\Bbb R^N)$, $q\in (\frac{3N}{N-1}, \infty)$ is trivial, $v=0$. For the solution of of the steady Navier-Stokes equations, satisfying $v(x)\to 0$ as $|x|\to \infty$, the condition $\int_{\Bbb R^3} |\Delta v|^{\frac65} dx, Comment: 15 pages(to appear in Comm.

We prove a Beale-Kato-Majda type criterion for the loss of regularity for solutions of the incompressible Euler equations in $H^{s}({\mathbb R}^3)$, for $s>\frac52$. Instead of double exponential estimates of Beale-Kato-Majda type, we obtain a single exponential bound on $\|u(t)\|_{H^s}$ involving the length parameter introduced by P. Constantin in \cite{co1}. In particular, we derive lower bounds on the blowup rate of such solutions., AMS Latex, 15 pages

We prove that the maximum norm of the deformation tensor of velocity gradients controls the possible breakdown of smooth(strong) solutions for the 3-dimensional (3D) barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations. More precisely, if a solution of the 3D barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations is initially regular and loses its regularity at some later time, then the loss of regularity implies the growth without bound of the deformation tensor as the critical time approaches. Our result is the same as Ponce’s criterion for 3-dimensional incompressible Euler equations (Ponce in Commun Math Phys 98:349–353, 1985). In addition, initial vacuum states are allowed in our cases.

We prove that there exists no self-similar finite time blowing up solution to the 3D incompressible Euler equations. By similar method we also show nonexistence of self-similar blowing up solutions to the divergence-free transport equation in $\Bbb R^n$. This result has direct applications to the density dependent Euler equations, the Boussinesq system, and the quasi-geostrophic equations, for which we also show nonexistence of self-similar blowing up solutions., Comment: This version refines the previous one by relaxing the condition of compact support for the vorticity
