Islands in stable fluid equilibria

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: 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 disturbances of a flat boundary cause a change of streamline topology of stable steady states.
