We prove the non-uniform continuity of the data-to-solution map of the incompressible Euler equations in Besov spaces, B p , q s , where the parameters p , q and s considered here are such that the local existence and uniqueness result holds.

We propose and study the framework of dissipative statistical solutions for the incompressible Euler equations. Statistical solutions are time-parameterized probability measures on the space of square-integrable functions, whose time-evolution is determined from the underlying Euler equations. We prove partial well-posedness results for dissipative statistical solutions and propose a Monte Carlo type algorithm, based on spectral viscosity spatial discretizations, to approximate them. Under verifiable hypotheses on the computations, we prove that the approximations converge to a statistical solution in a suitable topology. In particular, multi-point statistical quantities of interest converge on increasing resolution. We present several numerical experiments to illustrate the theory., Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 31 (02), ISSN:0218-2025, ISSN:1793-6314

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.

Smooth solutions of the incompressible Euler equations are characterized by the property that circulation around material loops is conserved. This is the Kelvin theorem. Likewise, smooth solutions of Navier-Stokes are characterized by a generalized Kelvin's theorem, introduced by Constantin-Iyer (2008). In this note, we introduce a class of stochastic fluid equations, whose smooth solutions are characterized by natural extensions of the Kelvin theorems of their deterministic counterparts, which hold along certain noisy flows. These equations are called the stochastic Euler-Poincar\'{e} and stochastic Navier-Stokes-Poincar\'{e} equations respectively. The stochastic Euler-Poincar\'{e} equations were previously derived from a stochastic variational principle by Holm (2015), which we briefly review. Solutions of these equations do not obey pathwise energy conservation/dissipation in general. In contrast, we also discuss a class of stochastic fluid models, solutions of which possess energy theorems but do not, in general, preserve circulation theorems., Comment: 26 pages

Can every physical system simulate any Turing machine? This is a classical problem that is intimately connected with the undecidability of certain physical phenomena. Concerning fluid flows, Moore [C. Moore, Nonlinearity 4, 199 (1991)] asked if hydrodynamics is capable of performing computations. More recently, Tao launched a program based on the Turing completeness of the Euler equations to address the blow-up problem in the Navier¿Stokes equations. In this direction, the undecidability of some physical systems has been studied in recent years, from the quantum gap problem to quantum-field theories. To the best of our knowledge, the existence of undecidable particle paths of three-dimensional fluid flows has remained an elusive open problem since Moore¿s works in the early 1990s. In this article, we construct a Turing complete stationary Euler flow on a Riemannian S3 and speculate on its implications concerning Tao¿s approach to the blow-up problem in the Navier¿Stokes equations., Robert Cardona was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, through the María de Maeztu Program for Units of Excellence in R&D (MDM-2014-0445) via an FPI grant.

We consider the initial value problem for the Nernst-Planck equations coupled to the incompressible Euler equations in $\mathbb T^2$. We prove global existence of weak solutions for vorticity in $L^p$. We also obtain global existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions. We show that smooth solutions of the Nernst-Planck-Navier-Stokes equations converge to solutions of the Nernst-Planck-Euler equations as viscosity tends to zero. All the results hold for large data.

Vlasov equations can be formally derived from N-body dynamics in the mean-field limit. In some suitable singular limits, they may themselves converge to fluid dynamics equations. Motivated by this heuristic, we introduce natural scalings under which the incompressible Euler equations can be rigorously derived from N-body dynamics with repulsive Coulomb interaction. Our analysis is based on the modulated energy methods of Brenier and Serfaty., Minor typos corrected

For a nonlinear operator T satisfying certain structural assumptions, our main theorem states that the following claims are equivalent: i) T is surjective, ii) T is open at zero, and iii) T has a bounded right inverse. The theorem applies to numerous scale-invariant PDEs in regularity regimes where the equations are stable under weak⁎ convergence. Two particular examples we explore are the Jacobian equation and the equations of incompressible fluid flow. For the Jacobian, it is a long standing open problem to decide whether it is onto between the critical Sobolev space and the Hardy space. Towards a negative answer, we show that, if the Jacobian is onto, then it suffices to rule out the existence of surprisingly well-behaved solutions. For the incompressible Euler equations, we show that, for any p, Advances in Mathematics, 415, ISSN:0001-8708, ISSN:1090-2082

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

We suggest a new way of defining optimal transport of positive-semidefinite matrix-valued measures. It is inspired by a recent rendering of the incompressible Euler equations and related conservative systems as concave maximization problems. The main object of our attention is the Kantorovich-Bures metric space, which is a matricial analogue of the Wasserstein and Hellinger-Kantorovich metric spaces. We establish some topological, metric and geometric properties of this space, which includes the existence of the optimal transportation path.

In [Grenier-Nguyen], we introduced so called {\em generators} functions to precisely follow the regularity of analytic solutions of Navier Stokes equations. In this short note, we give a presentation of these generator functions and use them to give existence results of analytic solutions to some classical equations, namely to hyperbolic equations, to incompressible Euler equations, and to hydrostatic Euler and Vlasov models. The use of these generator functions appear to be an alternative way to the use of the classical abstract Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem [Asano,Caflisch,Nirenberg,Safonov]., 12 pages

We consider the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations. We construct vortex patches with smooth boundary on $T^2$ and $R^2$ whose perimeter grows with time. More precisely, for any constant $M > 0$, we construct a vortex patch in $T^2$ whose smooth boundary has length of order 1 at the initial time such that the perimeter grows up to the given constant $M$ within finite time. The construction is done by cutting a thin stick out of an almost square patch. A similar result holds for an almost round patch with a thin handle in $R^2$., 6 pages, 2 figures

We describe a method to construct smooth and compactly supported solutions of 3D incompressible Euler equations and related models. The method is based on localizable Grad–Shafranov equations and is inspired by the recent result (Gavrilov in A steady Euler flow with compact support. Geom Funct Anal 29(1):90–197, [Gav19]).

We prove a continuation critereon for incompressible liquids with free surface boundary. We combine the energy estimates of Christodoulou and Lindblad with an analog of the estimate due to Beale, Kato, and Majda for the gradient of the velocity in terms of the vorticity, and use this to show solution can be continued so long as the second fundamental form and injectivity radius of the free boundary, the vorticity, and one derivative of the velocity on the free boundary remain bounded, assuming that the Taylor sign condition holds., Corrected typos

In this work we investigate the helicity regularity for weak solutions of the incompressible Euler equations. To prove regularity and conservation of the helicity we will treat the velocity u u and its curl ⁡ u \operatorname {curl} u as two independent functions and we mainly show that the helicity is a constant of motion assuming u ∈ L t 2 r ( C x θ ) u \in L^{2r}_t(C^\theta _x) and curl ⁡ u ∈ L t κ ( W x α , 1 ) \operatorname {curl} u \in L^{\kappa }_t(W^{\alpha ,1}_x) , where r , κ r,\kappa are conjugate Hölder exponents and 2 θ + α ≥ 1 2\theta +\alpha \geq 1 . Using the same techniques we also show that the helicity has a suitable Hölder regularity even in the range where it is not necessarily constant.

In this paper we consider the locally backward self-similar solutions for the Euler system, and focus on the case that the possible nontrivial velocity profiles have non-decaying asymptotics. We derive the meaningful representation formula of the pressure profile in terms of velocity profiles in this case, and by using it and the local energy inequality of profiles, we prove some nonexistence results and show the energy behavior concerning the possible velocity profiles., Comment: 18 pages

Starting from Brenier’s relaxed formulation of the incompressible Euler equation in terms of geodesics in the group of measure-preserving diffeomorphisms, we propose a numerical method based on Sinkhorn’s algorithm for the entropic regularization of optimal transport. We also make a detailed comparison of this entropic regularization with the so-called Bredinger entropic interpolation problem (see Arnaudon et al. in An entropic interpolation problem for incompressible viscid fluids, 2017, arXiv preprint arXiv:1704.02126 ). Numerical results in dimension one and two illustrate the feasibility of the method.

We prove local non blow-up theorems for the 3D incompressible Euler equations under local Type I conditions. More specifically, for a classical solution $v\in L^\infty (-1,0; L^2 ( B(x_0,r)))\cap L^\infty_{\rm loc} (-1,0; W^{1, \infty} (B(x_0, r)))$ of the 3D Euler equations, where $B(x_0,r)$ is the ball with radius $r$ and the center at $x_0$, if the limiting values of certain scale invariant quantities for a solution $v(\cdot, t)$ as $t\to 0$ are small enough, then $ \nabla v(\cdot,t) $ does not blow-up at $t=0$ in $B(x_0, r)$., 22 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 consider self-similar solutions of the 2d incompressible Euler equations. We construct a class of solutions with vorticity forming algebraic spirals near the origin, in analogy to vortex sheets rolling up into algebraic spirals.

We prove a version of Onsager’s conjecture on the conservation of energy for the incompressible Euler equations in the context of statistical solutions, as introduced recently by Fjordholm et al. (2017). As a byproduct, we also obtain an alternative proof for the conservative direction of Onsager’s conjecture for weak solutions, under a weaker Besov-type regularity assumption than previously known.

We prove the ill-posedness of Leray solutions to the Cauchy problem for the ipodissipative Navier--Stokes equations, when the dissipative term is a fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^\alpha$ with exponent $\alpha < \frac{1}{5}$. The proof follows the ''convex integration methods'' introduced by the second author and L\'aszl\'o Sz\'ekelyhidi Jr. for the incomprresible Euler equations. The methods yield indeed some conclusions even for exponents in the range $[\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{2}[$., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1302.2815

In 2000 Constantin showed that the incompressible Euler equations can be written in an "Eulerian-Lagrangian" form which involves the back-to-labels map (the inverse of the trajectory map for each fixed time). In the same paper a local existence result is proved in certain H��lder spaces $C^{1,��}$. We review the Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation of the equations and prove that given initial data in $H^s$ for $n\geq2$ and $s>\frac{n}{2}+1$, a unique local-in-time solution exists on the $n$-torus that is continuous into $H^s$ and $C^1$ into $H^{s-1}$. These solutions automatically have $C^1$ trajectories. The proof here is direct and does not appeal to results already known about the classical formulation. Moreover, these solutions are regular enough that the classical and Eulerian-Lagrangian formulations are equivalent, therefore what we present amounts to an alternative approach to some of the standard theory., 17 pages, to appear in J. Math. Fluid Mech. Lemmas 4 and 6 revised, several minor changes

In this paper we study for the incompressible Euler equations the global structure of the bifurcation diagram for the rotating doubly connected patches near the degenerate case. We show that the branches with the same symmetry merge forming a small loop provided that they are close enough. This confirms the numerical observations done in the recent work [10], 32 pages

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

It is well known that the incompressible Euler equations can be formulated in a very geometric language. The geometric structures provide very valuable insights into the properties of the solutions. Analogies with the finite-dimensional model of geodesics on a Lie group with left-invariant metric can be very instructive, but it is often difficult to prove analogues of finite-dimensional results in the infinite-dimensional setting of Euler's equations. In this paper we establish a result in this direction in the simple case of steady-state solutions in two dimensions, under some non-degeneracy assumptions. In particular, we establish, in a non-degenerate situation, a local one-to-one correspondence between steady-states and co-adjoint orbits., Comment: 81 pages

International audience; We address the global persistence of analyticity and Gevrey-class regularity of solutions to the two and three-dimensional visco-elastic second-grade fluid equations. We obtain an explicit novel lower bound on the radius of analyticity of the solutions that does not vanish as t → ∞, and which is independent of the Rivlin-Ericksen material parameter α. Applications to the damped incompressible Euler equations are also given.

We revisit a family of infinite-energy solutions of the 3D incompressible Euler equations proposed by Gibbon et al. [9] and shown to blowup in finite time by Constantin [6]. By adding a damping term to the momentum equation we examine how the damping coefficient can arrest this blowup. Further, we show that similar infinite-energy solutions of the inviscid 3D Boussinesq system with damping can develop a singularity in finite time as long as the damping effects are insufficient to arrest the (undamped) 3D Euler blowup in the associated damped 3D Euler system., Comment: 14 pages; some typos have been corrected

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

We consider the vortex patch problem for both the 2-D and 3-D incompressible Euler equations. In 2-D, we prove that for vortex patches with $H^{k-0.5}$ Sobolev-class contour regularity, $k \ge 4$, the velocity field on both sides of the vortex patch boundary has $H^k$ regularity for all time. In 3-D, we establish existence of solutions to the vortex patch problem on a finite-time interval $[0,T]$, and we simultaneously establish the $H^{k-0.5}$ regularity of the two-dimensional vortex patch boundary, as well as the $H^k$ regularity of the velocity fields on both sides of vortex patch boundary, for $k \ge 3$., Comment: 30 pages, added references and some details to Section 5

This paper deals with the global existence and uniqueness results for the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations with a particular structure for initial data lying in critical spaces. In this case the BKM criterion is not known.

Because pressure is determined globally for the incompressible Euler equations, a localized change to the initial velocity will have an immediate effect throughout space. For solutions to be physically meaningful, one would expect such effects to decrease with distance from the localized change, giving the solutions a type of stability. Indeed, this is the case for solutions having spatial decay, as can be easily shown. We consider the more difficult case of solutions lacking spatial decay, and show that such stability still holds, albeit in a somewhat weaker form., Comment: Revised statement of Theorem 1 to include a missing definition

We combine the spectral (viscosity) method and ensemble averaging to propose an algorithm that computes admissible measure-valued solutions of the incompressible Euler equations. The resulting approximate young measures are proved to converge (with increasing numerical resolution) to a measure-valued solution. We present numerical experiments demonstrating the robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm, as well as the appropriateness of measure-valued solutions as a solution framework for the Euler equations. Furthermore, we report an extensive computational study of the two-dimensional vortex sheet, which indicates that the computed measure-valued solution is non-atomic and implies possible non-uniqueness of weak solutions constructed by Delort.

In Ann. Math., 170 (2009), 1417-1436, C. De Lellis and L. Sz\'ekelyhidi Jr. constructed wild solutions of the incompressible Euler equations using a reformulation of the Euler equations as a differential inclusion together with convex integration. In this article we adapt their construction to the system consisting of adding the transport of a passive scalar to the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations., Comment: 10 pages

Author(s): Cao, Chongsheng; Farhat, Aseel; Titi, Edriss S | Abstract: We establish, for smooth enough initial data, the global well-posedness (existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on initial data) of solutions, for an inviscid three-dimensional {\it slow limiting ocean dynamics} model. This model was derived as a strong rotation limit of the rotating and stratified Boussinesg equations with periodic boundary conditions. To establish our results we utilize the tools developed for investigating the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations and linear transport equations. Using a weaker formulation of the model we also show the global existence and uniqueness of solutions, for less regular initial data.

In a recent article, C. Bardos et. al. constructed weak solutions of the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations which emerge from two-dimensional initial data yet become fully three-dimensional at positive times. They asked whether such symmetry-breaking solutions could also be constructed under the additional condition that they should have non-increasing energy. In this note, we give a positive answer to this question and show that such a construction is possible for a large class of initial data. We use convex integration techniques as developed by De Lellis-Sz\'ekelyhidi., Comment: To appear in C. R. Math. Acad. Sci. Paris

This paper is devoted to the global existence and uniqueness results for the three-dimensional Boussinesq system with axisymmetric initial data $v^{0}{\in}B_{2,1}^{5/2}(\RR^3)$ and$ ${\rho}^{0}{\in}B_{2,1}^{1/2}(\RR^3)\cap L^{p}(\RR^3)$ with $p>6.$ This system couples the incompressible Euler equations with a transport-diffusion equation governing the density. In this case the Beale-Kato-Majda criterion is not known to be valid and to circumvent this difficulty we use in a crucial way some geometric properties of the vorticity., Comment: Asymptotic Analysis journal, (2011)

The paper addresses the question of existence of a locally self-similar blow-up for the incompressible Euler equations. Several exclusion results are proved based on the $L^p$-condition for velocity or vorticity and for a range of scaling exponents. In particular, in $N$ dimensions if in self-similar variables $u \in L^p$ and $u \sim \frac{1}{t^{\a/(1+\a)}}$, then the blow-up does not occur provided $\a >N/2$ or $-1, Comment: A revised version with improved notation, proofs, etc. 19 pages

In this paper, we construct stationary classical solutions of the incompressible Euler equation approximating singular stationary solutions of this equation. This procedure is carried out by constructing solutions to the following elliptic problem [ -\ep^2 \Delta u=(u-q-\frac{\kappa}{2\pi}\ln\frac{1}{\ep})_+^p, \quad & x\in\Omega, u=0, \quad & x\in\partial\Omega, ] where $p>1$, $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a bounded domain, $q$ is a harmonic function. We showed that if $\Omega$ is simply-connected smooth domain, then for any given non-degenerate critical point of Kirchhoff-Routh function $\mathcal{W}(x_1,...,x_m)$ with the same strength $\kappa>0$, there is a stationary classical solution approximating stationary $m$ points vortex solution of incompressible Euler equations with vorticity $m\kappa$. Existence and asymptotic behavior of single point non-vanishing vortex solutions were studied by D. Smets and J. Van Schaftingen (2010)., Comment: 32pages

In this paper, we prove the existence of smooth initial data for the 2D free boundary incompressible Euler equations (also known for some particular scenarios as the water wave problem), for which the smoothness of the interface breaks down in finite time into a splash singularity or a splat singularity., 70 pages, 9 figures. Minor revisions

Using a recent result of C. De Lellis and L. Sz\'{e}kelyhidi Jr. we show that, in the case of periodic boundary conditions and for dimension greater or equal 2, there exist infinitely many global weak solutions to the incompressible Euler equations with initial data $v_0$, where $v_0$ may be any solenoidal $L^2$-vectorfield. In addition, the energy of these solutions is bounded in time., Comment: 5 pages

The present paper is devoted to the study of the well-posedness issue for the density-dependent Euler equations in the whole space. We establish local-in-time results for the Cauchy problem pertaining to data in the Besov spaces embedded in the set of Lipschitz functions, including the borderline case $B^{\frac Np+1}_{p,1}(\R^N).$ A continuation criterion in the spirit of the celebrated one by Beale-Kato-Majda for the classical Euler equations, is also proved. In contrast with the previous work dedicated to this system in the whole space, our approach is not restricted to the $L^2$ framework or to small perturbations of a constant density state: we just need the density to be bounded away from zero. The key to that improvement is a new a priori estimate in Besov spaces for an elliptic equation with nonconstant coefficients., 31 pages

This work is the continuation of the recent paper (Danchin, 2010) [9] devoted to the density-dependent incompressible Euler equations. Here we concentrate on the well-posedness issue in Besov spaces of type B ∞ , r s embedded in the set of Lipschitz continuous functions, a functional framework which contains the particular case of Holder spaces C 1 , α and of the endpoint Besov space B ∞ , 1 1 . For such data and under the non-vacuum assumption, we establish the local well-posedness and a continuation criterion in the spirit of that of Beale, Kato and Majda (1984) [2] . In the last part of the paper, we give lower bounds for the lifespan of a solution. In dimension two, we point out that the lifespan tends to infinity when the initial density tends to be a constant. This is, to our knowledge, the first result of this kind for the density-dependent incompressible Euler equations.

Given any solution $u$ of the Euler equations which is assumed to have some regularity in space - in terms of Besov norms, natural in this context - we show by interpolation methods that it enjoys a corresponding regularity in time and that the associated pressure $p$ is twice as regular as $u$. This generalizes a recent result by Isett [16] (see also Colombo and De Rosa [8]), which covers the case of H\"older spaces., Comment: 15 pages
