On stability of Euler flows on closed surfaces of positive genus
arXiv:1812.08959
Abstract
Incompressible flows of an ideal two-dimensional fluid on a closed orientable surface of positive genus are considered. Linear stability of harmonic, i.e. irrotational and incompressible, solutions to the Euler equations is shown using the Hodge-Helmholtz decomposition. We also demonstrate that any surface Euler flow is stable with respect to harmonic velocity perturbations.
