Clustered helical vortices for 3D incompressible Euler equation in infinite cylinders (2311.02676v1)

Abstract: In this article, we first consider solutions to a semilinear elliptic problem in divergence form \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\varepsilon^2\text{div}(K(x)\nabla u)= (u-q|\ln\varepsilon|)^{p}_+,\ \ &x\in \Omega,\ u=0,\ \ &x\in\partial \Omega \end{cases} \end{equation*} for small values of $ \varepsilon $. We prove that there exists a family of clustered solutions which have arbitrary many bubbles and collapse into given maximum points of $ q^2\sqrt{\det K} $ as $ \varepsilon\to0. $ Then as an application, we construct clustered traveling-rotating helical vortex solutions to Euler equations in infinite cylinders, such that the support set of corresponding vortices consists of several helical tubes concentrating near a single helix.
