A confinement result for axisymmetric fluids (Q2569722)

Summary: We consider an incompressible, inviscid, axisymmetric fluid moving in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) without swirl (a vortex ring). We study its time evolution via the Euler equation, assuming that initially the vorticity is concentrated at a finite distance, say \(r_0\), from the symmetry axis. We prove a bound on the growth of the support of the vorticity. Namely we show that the fluid is confined in a cylinder with radius \(r\leq r_0+\text{constant}\,t^{1/4}\log(e+t)\).
