Self-similar spirals for the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations
Abstract
In this paper we construct a large class of non-trivial (non-radial) self-similar solutions of the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equation (gSQG). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first rigorous construction of any self-similar solution for these equations. The solutions are of spiral type, locally integrable, and may have mixed sign. Moreover, they bear some resemblance with the finite time singularity scenario numerically proposed by Scott and Dritschel [R. K. Scott, D. G. Dritschel., Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 863:R2, 2019] in the SQG patch setting.
