Abstract: We study a family of approximations to Euler's equation depending on two parameters $varepsilon,etage0$. When $varepsilon=eta=0$ we have Euler's equation and when both are positive we have instances of the class of integro-differential equations called EPDiff in imaging science. These are all geodesic equations on either the full diffeomorphism group $operatorname{Diff}_{H^{i}nfty}(mathbb{R}^n)$ or, if $varepsilon=0$, its volume preserving subgroup. They are defined by the right invariant metric induced by the norm on vector fields given by ${\displaystyle }$ |v|_{varepsilon,eta} = int_{mathbb R^n} <L_{varepsilon,eta} v, v> dx ${\displaystyle }$ where $L_{varepsilon,eta}=(I-fracet{a}^{2}priangle{)}^{p}circ(I-frac1varepsilo{n}^{2}ablacircdiv)$. All geodesic equations are locally well-posed, and the $L_{varepsilon,eta}$-equation admits solutions for all time if $eta>0$ and $pge(n+3)/2$. We tie together solutions of all these equations by estimates which, however, are only local in time. This approach leads to a new notion of momentum which is transported by the flow and serves as a generalization of vorticity. We also discuss how delta distribution momenta lead to "vortex-solitons", also called "landmarks" in imaging science, and to new numeric approximations to fluids.
