Co-rotating nearly parallel helical vortices with small cross-section in 3D incompressible Euler equations

Abstract: In this article, we consider clustered solutions to a semilinear elliptic equation 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 $. Using Green's function of the elliptic operator $ -\text{div}(K(x)\nabla) $ and finite-dimensional reduction method, we prove that there exist clustered solutions with cluster point $ 0 $ and cluster distance $ |\ln\varepsilon| ^{-\frac{1}{2}} $ whose small-structure is governed by some functional $ H_N $ determined by $ K $ and $ q $. As an application, we prove the existence of traveling-rotating helical vorticity fields to 3D incompressible Euler equations in infinite cylinders, whose support sets consist of helical tubes with small cross-section of radius $ \varepsilon $ and arbitrary circulation $ \kappa $ and concentrates near $ 2N $'' and$ 2N+1 $'' type of co-rotating helical solutions of nearly parallel vortex filaments model as $ \varepsilon\to0 $, which justifies the result in Klein, Majda and Damodaran [1995, JFM] and generalizes results in Guerra and Musso [arxiv: 2502.01470]. Several kinds of solutions such as 2 asymmetric'',$ 2\times2 $ asymmetric'' and ``$ 2\times2+1 $ asymmetric'' type of co-rotating helical filaments are also considered.
