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 operatornameDiffHinfty(mathbbRn) 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 |v|_{varepsilon,eta} = int_{mathbb R^n} <L_{varepsilon,eta} v, v> dx where Lvarepsilon,eta=(Ifraceta2priangle)pcirc(Ifrac1varepsilon2ablacircdiv). All geodesic equations are locally well-posed, and the Lvarepsilon,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.
