Singularity formation in the incompressible Euler equation in finite and infinite time

TD Drivas, TM Elgindi - EMS Surveys in Mathematical Sciences, 2023 - ems.press
Some classical and recent results on the Euler equations governing perfect (incompressible
and inviscid) fluid motion are collected and reviewed, with some small novelties scattered …

Existence of non-trivial non-concentrated compactly supported stationary solutions of the 2D Euler equation with finite energy

J Gómez-Serrano, J Park, J Shi - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.03821, 2021 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we prove the existence of locally non-radial solutions to the stationary 2D Euler
equations with compact support but non-concentrated around one or several points. Our …

Existence of Homogeneous Euler Flows of Degree

K Abe - Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2024 - Springer
Abstract We consider (-α)-homogeneous solutions to the stationary incompressible Euler
equations in R 3 {0 for α≧ 0 and in R 3 for α< 0. Shvydkoy (2018) demonstrated the …

The Feynman–Lagerstrom Criterion for Boundary Layers

TD Drivas, S Iyer, TT Nguyen - Archive for Rational Mechanics and …, 2024 - Springer
We study the boundary layer theory for slightly viscous stationary flows forced by an
imposed slip velocity at the boundary. According to the theory of Prandtl (in: International …

On the distribution of heat in fibered magnetic fields

TD Drivas, D Ginsberg, H Grayer - Communications in Mathematical …, 2024 - Springer
We study the equilibrium temperature distribution in a model for strongly magnetized
plasmas in dimensions two and three. Provided the magnetic field is sufficiently structured …

Islands in stable fluid equilibria

T Drivas, D Ginsberg - Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2024 - ams.org
We prove that stable fluid equilibria with trivial homology on curved, reflection-symmetric
periodic channels must posses “islands”, or cat's eye vortices. In this way, arbitrarily small …

A geometric characterization of steady laminar flow

TD Drivas, M Nualart - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.18946, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study the steady states of the Euler equations on the periodic channel or annulus. We
show that if these flows are laminar (layered by closed non-contractible streamlines which …

On Two-Dimensional Harmonic Extensions of Vector Fields and Stellarator Coils

AJ Golab, JC Robinson, JL Rodrigo - SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2023 - SIAM
We consider a problem relating to magnetic confinement devices known as stellarators.
Plasma is confined by magnetic fields generated by current-carrying coils, and here we …

Existence of homogeneous Euler flows of degree

K Abe - arXiv preprint arXiv:2305.05987, 2023 - arxiv.org
We consider ($-\alpha $)-homogeneous solutions to the stationary incompressible Euler
equations in $\mathbb {R}^{3}\backslash\{0\} $ for $\alpha\geq 0$ and in $\mathbb {R}^{3} …

Stability of Chandrasekhar's nonlinear force-free fields

K Abe - arXiv preprint arXiv:2206.00899, 2022 - arxiv.org
Chandrasekhar's nonlinear force-free field, discovered in 1956, is a rare example of a
nonlinear force-free field describing a large coherent structure of axisymmetric magnetic …
