Singularity Formation in Fluids

Whether the 3D incompressible Euler equations can develop a finite-time singularity from smooth initial data is a long-standing open problem in mathematical fluid mechanics. In this talk, I will begin by providing an overview of this problem and then introduce a framework for stable, nearly self-similar blowup, developed in joint work with Tom Hou (Caltech). Using this framework, we establish singularity formation in the incompressible Euler equations with smooth data and boundary. Additionally, I will briefly present recent results on vorticity blowup in compressible Euler equations and beyond, using the self-similar blowup method.
