Topological methods in hydrodynamics

TL;DR: A group theoretical approach to hydrodynamics is proposed in this article, where the authors consider the hydrodynamic geometry of diffeomorphism groups and the principle of least action implies that the motion of a fluid is described by geodesics on the group in the right-invariant Riemannian metric given by the kinetic energy.

Variational problems on classes of rearrangements and multiple configurations for steady vortices

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of at least four solutions for a problem on the steady configurations of a vortex in an ideal fluid was proved for a convex functional restricted to the class of rearrangements of a fixed Lp function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global Nonlinear Stability for Steady Ideal Fluid Flow in Bounded Planar Domains

TL;DR: In this article, the authors prove stability of steady flows of an ideal fluid in a bounded, simply connected, planar region that are strict maximisers or minimisers of kinetic energy on an isovortical surface.

Eleven Great Problems of Mathematical Hydrodynamics

TL;DR: The key unsolved problems of mathematical fluid dynamics, their current state and outlook are discussed in this article, where global existence and uniquness theorems for basic boundary and initialboundary value problems in the theory of ideal and viscous incompressible fluids, the spectral problems in hydrodynamic stability theory for steady and time periodic flows, creation of secondary, tertiary, etc... flow regimes as a result of bifurcations and the asymptotics of vanishing viscosity.

Steady symmetric vortex pairs and rearrangements

TL;DR: In this paper, an existence theorem for a steady planar flow of an ideal fluid, containing a bounded symmetric pair of vortices and approaching a uniform flow at infinity, was proved by maximizing the kinetic energy over all flows whose vorticity fields are rearrangements of a specified function.

Convex analysis and variational problems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider non-convex variational problems with a priori estimate in convex programming and show that they can be solved by the minimax theorem.
