On 2D Euler Equations: III. A Line Model

چکیده
To understand the nature of turbulence, we select 2D Euler equation under periodic boundary condition as our primary example to study. 2D Navier-Stokes equation at high Reynolds number is regarded as a singularly perturbed 2D Euler equation. That is, we are interested in studying the zero viscosity limit problem. To begin an infinite dimensional dynamical system study, we consider a simple fixed point and study the spectrum of the linear 2D Euler operator in [1]. The spectral theorem in l2 space is proved. As a corollary of the spectral theorem in l2 space, we will present the spectral theorem in Sobolev spaces in this article. Sobolev spaces are of more interest to us, since we are interested in understanding the invariant manifolds of 2D Euler equation at the fixed point. The main obstacle toward proving the invariant manifold theorem is that the nonlinear term is nonLipschitzian. In [2], a (dashed) line model is introduced to understand the invariant manifold structure of 2D Euler equation. At a special parameter value, the explicit expression of the invariant manifolds of the dashed line model can be calculated. The stable and unstable manifolds are two dimensional ellipsoidal surfaces, and together they form a lip-shape hyperbolic structure. Such structure appears to be robust with repsect to the parameter. In this article, we will prove the existence of invariant manifolds for the line model. Another more exciting development is the discovery of a Lax pair for 2D Euler equation [3]. From the Lax pair, we have obtained a Darboux transformation for the 2D Euler equation [4]. In principle, explicit expressions of the hyperbolic structures can be obtained from Darboux transformations [5].

Euler-Lagrange equations and geometric mechanics on Lie groups with potential
Abstract. Let G be a Banach Lie group modeled on the Banach space, possibly infinite dimensional, E. In this paper first we introduce Euler-Lagrange equations on the Lie group G with potential and right invariant metric. Euler-Lagrange equations are natural extensions of the geodesic equations on manifolds and Lie groups. In the second part, we study the geometry of the mechanical system of a r...
متن کاملAdjoint Equations in Cfd: Duality, Boundary Conditions and Solution Behaviour
The rst half of this paper derives the adjoint equations for inviscid and viscous compressible ow, with the emphasis being on the correct formulation of the adjoint boundary conditions and restrictions on the permissible choice of operators in the linearised functional. It is also shown that the boundary conditions for the adjoint problem can be simpliied through the use of a linearised perturb...

The linear stability of a steady state solution of 2D Euler equations of an ideal fluid is being studied. We give an explicit geometric construction of approximate eigenfunctions for the linearized Euler operator L in vorticity form acting on Sobolev spaces on two dimensional torus. We show that each nonzero Lyapunov–Oseledets exponent for the flow induced by the steady state contributes a vert...
متن کاملAn incompressible 2D didactic model with singularity and explicit solutions of the 2D Boussinesq equations
We give an example of a well posed, finite energy, 2D incompressible active scalar equation with the same scaling as the surface quasi-geostrophic equation and prove that it can produce finite time singularities. In spite of its simplicity, this seems to be the first such example. Further, we construct explicit solutions of the 2D Boussinesq equations whose gradients grow exponentially in time ...
