Self-similar singularities of the 3D Euler equations

Self-similar solutions are considered to the incompressible Euler equations in

, where the similarity variable is defined as

, β ≥ 0. It is shown that the scaling exponent is bounded above: β ≤ 1. Requiring |u|

² < ∞ and allowing more than one length scale, it is found β ϵ [2/5, 1]. This new result on the self-similar singularity is consistent with known analytical results for blow-up conditions.     

On the deformations of the incompressible Euler equations

We consider systems of deformed system of equations, which are obtained by some transformations from the system of incompressible Euler equations. These have similar properties to the original Euler equations including the scaling invariance. For one form of deformed system we prove that finite time blow-up actually occurs for ‘generic’ initial data, while for the other form of the deformed system we prove the global in time regularity for smooth initial data. Moreover, using the explicit functional relations between the solutions of those deformed systems and that of the original Euler system, we derive the condition of finite time blow-up of the Euler system in terms of solutions of one of its deformed systems. As another application of those relations we deduce a lower estimate of the possible blow-up time of the 3D Euler equations. This research was supported partially by the KOSEF Grant no.

Propagation of oscillations to 2D incompressible Euler equations

The asymptotic expansions are studied for the vorticity to 2D incompressible Euler equations with-initial vorticity , where ϕ₀(x) satisfies |d ϕ₀(x)|≠0 on the support of and is sufficiently smooth and with compact support in ℝ² (resp. ℝ²×T) The limit,v(t,x), of the corresponding velocity fields {v ^ɛ(t,x)} is obtained, which is the unique solution of (E) with initial vorticity ω₀(x). Moreover, (ℤ²)) for all 1≽p∞, where and ϕ(t,x) satisfy some modulation equation and eikonal equation, respectively.     

On the Lagrangian dynamics of the axisymmetric 3D Euler equations

We study the dynamics along the particle trajectories for the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations. In particular, by rewriting the system of equations we find that there exists a complex Riccati type of structure in the system on the whole of R³, which generalizes substantially the previous results in [5] (D. Chae, On the blow-up problem for the axisymmetric 3D Euler equations, Nonlinearity 21 (2008) 2053-2060). Using this structure of equations, we deduce the new blow-up criterion that the radial increment of pressure is not consistent with the global regularity of classical solution. We also derive a much more refined version of the Lagrangian dynamics than that of [6] (D. Chae, On the Lagrangian dynamics for the 3D incompressible Euler equations, Comm. Math. Phys. 269 (2) (2007) 557-569) in the case of axisymmetry.     

A class of large solutions to the 3D incompressible MHD and Euler equations with damping

In this paper, we derive the global existence of smooth solutions of the 3 D incompressible Euler equations with damping for a class of laxge initial data, whose Sobolev norms H~s can be arbitrarily large for any s ≥ 0. The approach is through studying the quantity representing the difference between the vorticity and velocity. And also, we construct a family of large solutions for MHD equations with damping.     

On the generalized self-similar singularities for the Euler and the Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper we study blow-up rates and the blow-up profiles of possible asymptotically self-similar singularities of the Euler and the Navier-Stokes equations, where the sense of convergence and self-similarity are considered in various generalized senses. We improve substantially, in particular, the previous nonexistence results of self-similar/asymptotically self-similar singularities. Generalization of the self-similar transforms is also considered, and by appropriate choice of the parameterized transform we obtain new a priori estimates for the Euler and the Navier-Stokes equations depending on a free parameter.     

On regularity criterion to the 3D axisymmetric incompressible MHD equations

This paper is concerned with the regularity criterion for a class of axisymmetric solutions to 3D incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. More precisely, for the solutions that have the form of u = u_re_r+u_θe_θ+u_ze_z and b = b_θe_θ, we prove that if |ru(x,t)|≤C holds for ?1≤t < 0, then (u,b) is regular at time zero. This result can be thought as a generalization of recent results in for the 3D incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Convergence of the nonisentropic Euler-Poisson equations to incompressible type Euler equations

In this paper, we investigate a multidimensional nonisentropic hydrodynamic (Euler-Poisson) model for semiconductors. We study the convergence of the nonisentropic Euler-Poisson equation to the incompressible nonisentropic Euler type equation via the quasi-neutral limit. The local existence of smooth solutions to the limit equations is proved by an iterative scheme. The method of asymptotic expansion and energy methods are used to rigorously justify the convergence of the limit.     

Existence of weak solutions for the incompressible Euler equations

Using a recent result of C. De Lellis and L. Székelyhidi Jr. (2010) [2] we show that, in the case of periodic boundary conditions and for arbitrary space dimension d?2, there exist infinitely many global weak solutions to the incompressible Euler equations with initial data v₀, where v₀ may be any solenoidal L²-vectorfield. In addition, the energy of these solutions is bounded in time.     

Remarks on the nonlinear instability of incompressible Euler equations

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear instability of incompressible Euler equations. If a steady density is non-monotonic, then the smooth steady state is a nonlinear instability. First, we use variational method to find a dominant eigenvalue which is important in the construction of approximate solutions, then by energy technique and analytic method, we obtain the dynamical instability result.     

On the free boundary problem of three‐dimensional incompressible Euler equations

In this paper, we consider in three dimensions the motion of a general inviscid, incompressible fluid with a free interface that separates the fluid region from the vacuum. We assume that the fluid region is below the vacuum and that there is no surface tension on the free surface. Then we prove the local well‐posedness of the free boundary problem in Sobolev space provided that there is no self‐intersection point on the initial surface and under the stability assumption that with ξ being restricted to the initial surface. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Convergence of the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system to the incompressible Euler equations

We establish the convergence of the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system to the incompressible Euler equations in this paper. The convergence is rigorously proved on the time interval where the smooth solution to the incompressible Euler equations exists. The proof relies on the compactness argument and the so-called relative-entropy method.     

Rigorous derivation of incompressible type Euler equations from non-isentropic Euler-Maxwell equations

In this paper, we investigate the convergence of the time-dependent and non-isentropic Euler-Maxwell equations to incompressible Euler equations in a torus via the combined quasi-neutral and non-relativistic limit. For well prepared initial data, the convergences of solutions of the former to the solutions of the latter are justified rigorously by an analysis of asymptotic expansions and energy method.     

Algebraic spiral solutions of the 2d incompressible Euler equations

We construct a class of self-similar 2d incompressible Euler solutions that have initial vorticity of mixed sign. The regions of positive and negative vorticity form algebraic spirals.     

On a new 3D model for incompressible euler and navier-stokes equations

In this paper, we investigate some new properties of the incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations by studying a 3D model for axisymmetric 3D incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations with swirl. The 3D model is derived by reformulating the axisymmetric 3D incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations and then neglecting the convection term of the resulting equations. Some properties of this 3D model are reviewed. Finally, some potential features of the incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations such as the stabilizing effect of the convection are presented.     

Convergence of compressible Euler-Poisson system to incompressible Euler equations

In this paper, we study the quasi-neutral limit of compressible Euler-Poisson equations in plasma physics in the torus T^d. For well prepared initial data the convergence of solutions of compressible Euler-Poisson equations to the solutions of incompressible Euler equations is justified rigorously by an elaborate energy methods based on studies on an λ-weighted Lyapunov-type functional. One main ingredient of establishing uniformly a priori estimates with respect to λ is to use the curl-div decomposition of the gradient.     

Weak solution of incompressible Euler equations with decreasing energy

Weak solution of incompressible Euler equations are L²-vector fields, satisfying integral relations, which express the mass and momentum balance. They are believed to describe the turbulent fluid motion at high Reynolds numbers. We justify this conjecture by constructing a weak solution with decreasing kinetic energy. The construction is based on Generalized Flows, introduced by Y. Brenier.
