Instability for Axisymmetric Blow-up Solutions to Incompressible Euler Equations

Abstract

It is still not known whether a solution to the incompressible Euler equation, endowed with a smooth initial value, can blow-up in finite time. In [{\em Comm. Math. Phys.}, 378:557--568, 2020] it has been shown that, if it exists, such a solution becomes linearly unstable close to the blow-up time. In this paper, we show that the same phenomenon holds even in the more rigid axisymmetric case. To obtain this result, we first prove a blow-up criterion involving only the toroidal component of the vorticity. The instability of blow-up profiles is also investigated.
