The Nonlocal-to-Local Limit for the Inviscid Leray-α Equations

Abstract: We consider the inviscid Leray-$α$ equations - an inviscid nonlocal regularisation of the Euler equations. In the first part, we prove the convergence of strong solutions of the Leray-$α$ equations to strong solutions of the Euler equations in $H<sup>s(\mathbb{R}<sup>d)$ for $s&gt;d/2 +1 $, $d\in {2,3}$, for a large class of regularising kernels. In the second part, we consider weak solutions on a bounded domain with a local scaling property far away from the boundary. The scaling relates to second-order structure functions from turbulence theory and does not imply regularity. Nonetheless, under these assumptions, the weak solutions converge to (possibly wild) weak solutions of Euler in $L<sup>2$ for almost every $t$.
