Regular and Singular Steady States of the 2D Incompressible Euler Equations near the Bahouri–Chemin Patch

Journal Article Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis · February 1, 2025 We consider steady states of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations on T2 and construct smooth and singular steady states around a particular singular steady state. More precisely, we construct families of smooth and singular steady solutions t ... Full text Cite

Norm Growth, Non-uniqueness, and Anomalous Dissipation in Passive Scalars

Journal Article Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis · December 1, 2024 We construct a divergence-free velocity field u:[0,T]×T2→R2 satisfying (Formula presented.) such that the corresponding drift-diffusion equation exhibits anomalous dissipation for all smooth initial data. We also show that, given any α0<1, the flow can be ... Full text Cite

Twisting in Hamiltonian flows and perfect fluids

Journal Article Inventiones Mathematicae · October 1, 2024 We introduce a notion of stability for non-autonomous Hamiltonian flows on two-dimensional annular surfaces. This notion of stability is designed to capture the sustained twisting of particle trajectories. The main Theorem is applied to establish a number ... Full text Cite
