Asymptotic behaviors of incompressible Schrödinger flow for small data in three dimensions

Abstract

The incompressible Schrödinger flow is a Madelung's hydrodynamical form of quantum mechanics, which can simulate classical fluids with particular advantage in its simplicity and its ability of capturing thin vortex dynamics. This model enables robust simulation of intricate phenomena such as vortical wakes and interacting vortex filaments. In this article, we prove the global regularity and asymptotic behaviors for incompressible Schrödinger flow with small and localized data in three dimensions. We choose a suitable gauge to rewrite the system, and then use Fourier analysis and vector fields method to prove global existence and asymptotic behaviors.
