Geometrical properties of Lagrangian vortex line segments are used in combination with analytical non-blowup criteria by Deng et al [Commun. PDE 31 (2006)] to reliably distinguish between singular and near-singular flow evolution. We then apply the presented technique to a class of high-symmetry initial conditions and present numerical evidence against the formation of a finite-time singularity in this case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-12-03T21:59:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "singularity", "finite-time euler singularities", "geometric analysis", "possibly singular incompressible 3d", "lagrangian" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1212.0573G" } } }
