TURW02 - Rigorous analysis of incompressible fluid models and turbulence

We consider the Euler equations for incompressible fluids in 3-dimension. A classical question that goes back to Helmholtz is to describe the evolution of vorticities with a high concentration around a cruve. The work of Da Rios in 1906 states that such a curve must evolve by the so-called “binormal curvature flow”. Existence of true solutions whose vorticity is concentrated near a given curve that evolves by this law is a long-standing open question that has only been answered for the special case of a circle travelling with constant speed along its axis, the thin vortex-rings. In this talk I will discuss the construction of helical filaments, associated to a translating-rotating helix, and of two vortex rings interacting between each other, the so-called leapfrogging. The results are in collaboration with J. Davila (U. of Bath), M. del Pino (U. of Bath) and J. Wei (U. of British Columbia).
