Classification of Casimirs in 2D hydrodynamics
Anton Izosimov, Boris Khesin Department of Mathematics, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 2E4, Canada
Abstract:
We describe a complete list of Casimirs for 2D Euler hydrodynamics on a surface without boundary: we define generalized enstrophies which, along with circulations, form a complete set of invariants for coadjoint orbits of area-preserving diffeomorphisms on a surface. We also outline a possible extension of main notions to the boundary case and formulate several open questions in that setting.
Key words and phrases:
area-preserving diffeomorphisms, enstrophy, Casimir function, coadjoint orbit, vorticity, circulation, hydrodynamical Euler equation, Reeb graph, Morse function.
