On concentration in vortex sheets

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The question of energy concentration in approximate solution sequences uepsilon, as epsilono0, of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations with vortex-sheet initial data is revisited. Building on a novel identity for the structure function in terms of vorticity, the vorticity maximal function is proposed as a quantitative tool to detect concentration effects in approximate solution sequences. This tool is applied to numerical experiments based on the vortex-blob method, where vortex sheet initial data without distinguished sign are considered, as introduced in emph{[R.~Krasny, J. Fluid Mech. extbf{167}:65-93 (1986)]}. Numerical evidence suggests that no energy concentration appears in the limit of zero blob-regularization epsilono0, for the considered initial data.
