Existence of nonsymmetric logarithmic spiral vortex sheet solutions to the 2D Euler equations
We consider solutions of the 2D incompressible Euler equation in the form of $M\geq 1$ cocentric logarithmic spirals. We prove the existence of a generic family of spirals that are nonsymmetric in the sense that the angles of the individual spirals are not uniformly distributed over the unit circle....

Zusammenfassung: | We consider solutions of the 2D incompressible Euler equation in the form of
$M\geq 1$ cocentric logarithmic spirals. We prove the existence of a generic
family of spirals that are nonsymmetric in the sense that the angles of the
individual spirals are not uniformly distributed over the unit circle. Namely,
we show that if $M=2$ or $M\geq 3 $ is an odd integer such that certain
non-degeneracy conditions hold, then, for each $n \in \{ 1,2 \}$, there exists
a logarithmic spiral with $M$ branches of relative angles arbitrarily close to
$\bar\theta_{k} = kn\pi/M$ for $k=0,1,\ldots , M-1$, which include halves of
the angles of the Alexander spirals. We show that the non-degeneracy conditions
are satisfied if $M\in \{ 2, 3,5,7,9 \}$, and that the conditions hold for all
odd $M>9$ given a certain gradient matrix is invertible, which appears to be
true by numerical computations. |
