Abstract Point-vortex dynamics describe idealized, non-smooth solutions to the incompressible Euler equations on two-dimensional manifolds. Integrability results for few point-vortices on various domains is a vivid topic, with many results and techniques scattered in the literature. Here, we give a unified framework for proving integrability results for $$N=2$$ N = 2 , 3, or 4 point-vortices (and also more general Hamiltonian systems), based on symplectic reduction theory. The approach works on any two-dimensional manifold with a symmetry group; we illustrate it on the sphere, the plane, the hyperbolic plane, and the flat torus. A systematic study of integrability is prompted by advances in two-dimensional turbulence, bridging the long-time behaviour of 2D Euler equations with questions of point-vortex integrability. A gallery of solutions is given in the appendix.

AbstractA single, simply stated approximation transforms the equations for a two-dimensional perfect fluid into a form that is closely analogous to Maxwell’s equations in classical electrodynamics. All the fluid conservation laws are retained in some form. Waves in the fluid interact only with vorticity and not with themselves. The vorticity is analogous to electric charge density, and point vortices are the analogues of point charges. The dynamics is equivalent to an action principle in which a set of fields and the locations of the point vortices are varied independently. We recover classical, incompressible, point vortex dynamics as a limiting case. Our full formulation represents the generalization of point vortex dynamics to the case of compressible flow.

This paper is concerned with the fractional quasigeostrophic equation with modified dissipativity. We prove the local existence of solutions in Sobolev spaces for the general initial data and the global existence for the small initial data when1/2≤α<1.

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of two-dimensional Boussinesq-type equations utt-Δu-Δutt+Δ2u=Δfu. Under the assumptions that fu is a function with exponential growth at infinity and under some assumptions on the initial data, we prove the existence of global weak solution.

We show that two-dimensional ‘point’ vortex dynamics in both a polytropic fluid of γ = 3/2 and an isothermal fluid stratified by a constant gravitational field can be written in Hamiltonian form. We find that the formulation admits only one constant of the motion in addition to the Hamiltonian, so that two vortices are the most for which the motion is generally integrable. We study in detail the two-vortex problem and find a rich collection of behaviour: closed trajectories analogous to the circular orbits of the uniform-fluid two-vortex problem, open trajectories for which the self-propelled vortices scatter off each other, and both unstable and stable steadily translating pairs of vortices. Comparison is made to the case of two vortices in a uniform-density fluid bounded by a wall.
