Desingularization of vortex rings in 3 dimensional Euler flows: with swirl

Abstract: We study desingularization of steady vortex rings in three-dimensional axisymmetric incompressible Euler fluids with swirl. Using the variational method, we construct a two-parameter family of steady vortex rings, which constitute a desingularization of the classical circular vortex filament, in several kinds of domains. The precise localization of the asymptotic singular vortex filament is shown to depend on the circulation and the velocity at far fields of the vortex ring and the geometry of the domains. We also discuss other qualitative and asymptotic properties of these vortices.
