LARGE TIME BEHAVIOR FOR VORTEX EVOLUTION IN THE HALF PLANE

Description

LARGE TIME BEHAVIOR FOR VORTEX EVOLUTION IN THE HALF-PLANE D. Iftimie M.C. Lopes Filho1 H.J. Nussenzveig Lopes2 Abstract. In this article we study the long-time behavior of incompressible ideal flow in a half plane from the point of view of vortex scattering. Our main result is that certain asymptotic states for half-plane vortex dynamics decompose naturally into a nonlinear superposition of soliton-like states. Our approach is to combine techniques developed in the study of vortex confinement with weak convergence tools in order to study the asymptotic behavior of a self-similar rescaling of a solution of the incompressible 2D Euler equations on a half plane with compactly supported, nonnegative initial vorticity. Key words: Incompressible and ideal fluid flow, vortex dynamics, 2D Euler equations. AMS subject classification: 76B47, 76B15, 35Q35. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Confinement of vorticity 5 2.1.
