Abstract:
We study the rate of growth of sharp fronts of the Quasi-geostrophic equation and 2D incompressible Euler equations. The development of sharp fronts are due to a mechanism that piles up level sets very fast. Under a semi-uniform collapse, we obtain a lower bound on the minimum distance between the level sets.
