The analytic structure of 2D Euler flow at short times
Abstract
Using a very high precision spectral calculation applied to the incompressible and inviscid flow with initial condition $ψ_0(x_1, x_2) = \cos x_1+\cos 2x_2$, we find that the width $δ(t)$ of its analyticity strip follows a $\ln(1/t)$ law at short times over eight decades. The asymptotic equation governing the structure of spatial complex-space singularities at short times (Frisch, Matsumoto and Bec 2003, J.Stat.Phys. 113, 761--781) is solved by a high-precision expansion method. Strong numerical evidence is obtained that singularities have infinite vorticity and lie on a complex manifold which is constructed explicitly as an envelope of analyticity disks.
