Abstract:
The stability of equilibria solutions of the incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations at high Reynolds number has been studied since the 1800s with the work of Kelvin, Rayleigh, Reynolds and others. However, only in recent years have we started to get a firm mathematical understanding of this field, even for the deceptively simple case of shear flows and vortices. I will outline some of the many recent advances in the area, including inviscid damping, enhanced dissipation, subcritical transition, vortex axi-symmetrization, and the local well-posedness of vortex filaments.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Jacob Bedrossian is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. He earned his PhD from UCLA in 2011. His research focuses on the analysis of deterministic and stochastic PDEs arising in fluid mechanics and plasma physics, especially on understanding stability, mixing, chaos, and turbulence. He has earned the 2019 SIAG/APDE prize (joint with Nader Masmoudi), the 2019 IMA prize, the 2020 Peter Lax Award, a 2020 Simons Fellowship, and is an invited speaker at the 2022 ICM.
