Filamentation near Hill’s vortex
Kyudong Choi, In-Jee Jeong
Abstract
For the axi-symmetric incompressible Euler equations, we prove linear in time filamentation near Hill’s vortex: there exists an arbitrary small outward perturbation growing linearly for all times. This is based on combining the recent nonlinear orbital stability obtained by the first author with a dynamical bootstrapping scheme for particle trajectories. These results rigorously confirm numerical simulations by Pozrikidis in 1986.
