In this paper, we study nonlinear orbital stability of steady vortex rings without swirl, which are special global solutions of the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations. We prove the existence of orbitally stable steady vortex rings. The proof is based on the classical variational method.

In this paper, we study the existence of rotating and traveling-wave solutions for the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (gSQG) equation. The solutions are obtained by maximization of the energy over the set of rearrangements of a fixed function. The rotating solutions take the form of co-rotating vortices with $N$-fold symmetry. The traveling-wave solutions take the form of translating vortex pairs. Moreover, these solutions constitute the desingularization of co-rotating $N$ point vortices and counter-rotating pairs. Some other quantitative properties are also established., 30 pages

In this paper, we constructed a family of steady vortex solutions for the lake equations with a general vorticity function, which constitutes a desingularization of a singular vortex. The precise localization of the asymptotic singular vortex is shown to be the deepest position of the lake. We also study global nonlinear stability for these solutions. Some qualitative and asymptotic properties are also established.

By studying the linearization of contour dynamics equation and using implicit function theorem, we prove the existence of co-rotating and traveling-wave vortex solutions for the gSQG equation, which extends the result of Hmidi and Mateu [28] to α ∈ [ 1 , 2 ) . Moreover, we obtain the C ∞ regularity of vortices boundary and the convexity of each vortices component.

In this paper, we are concerned with nonlinear desingularization of steady vortex rings of three-dimensional incompressible Euler fluids. We focus on the case when the vorticity function has a simple discontinuity, which corresponding to a jump in vorticity at the boundary of the cross-section of the vortex ring. Using the vorticity method, we construct a family of steady vortex rings which constitute a desingularization of the classical circular vortex filament in several kinds of domains. The precise localization of the asymptotic singular vortex filament is proved to depend on the circulation and the velocity at far fields of the vortex ring, and the geometry of the domains. Some qualitative and asymptotic properties are also established.

In this paper, we study desingularization of vortices for the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations in the full plane. We construct a family of traveling vortex pairs for the Euler equations with a general vorticity function, which constitutes a desingularization of a pair of point vortices with equal intensities but opposite signs. The results are obtained by using an improved vorticity method.

In this paper, we consider steady Euler flows in a planar bounded domain in which the vorticity is sharply concentrated in a finite number of disjoint regions of small diameter. Such flows are clos...

We construct a family of rotating vortex patches with fixed angular velocity for the two-dimensional Euler equations in a disk. As the vorticity strength goes to infinity, the limit of these rotating vortex patches is a rotating point vortex whose motion is described by the Kirchhoff-Routh equation. The construction is performed by solving a variational problem for the vorticity which is based on an adaption of Arnold's variational principle. We also prove nonlinear orbital stability of the set of maximizers in the variational problem under $L^p$ perturbation when $p\in[{3}/{2},+\infty)$., Comment: 21 pages
